For an even more intense mint flavor, infuse the milk with a few extra mint sprigs while it chills. To achieve a brighter green color, blanch the peas in boiling water for 2 minutes before adding them to the soup. This soup can be made a day ahead of time. Its flavors will meld beautifully overnight. Consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for extra brightness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over low heat. Add the chopped green onions and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
02
StepStir in the peas, vegetable stock, and chopped mint. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes if using frozen peas, or 30 minutes if using fresh peas, until the peas are tender.
03
StepUsing a slotted spoon, carefully remove about 3 tablespoons of peas and set aside for garnish. These will add a delightful textural contrast.
04
StepCarefully transfer the soup to a high-speed blender or food processor. Add the milk and blend until completely smooth and velvety. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar, if desired, to enhance the sweetness.
05
StepAllow the soup to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
06
StepBefore serving, gently whisk the soup to ensure a consistent texture. Ladle into chilled bowls. Swirl a tablespoon of light cream or crème fraîche into each bowl. Garnish with the reserved peas and fresh mint sprigs for an elegant finish.
