1
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and cook until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
2
Add Peas and Broth
Add the fresh sweet peas and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
3
Blend the Soup
Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If using a stand blender, blend in batches and return to the pot.
4
Season the Soup
Stir in the chopped fresh mint leaves, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. If the soup is too thick, adjust the consistency by adding a little more vegetable broth.
5
Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous dollop of crème fraîche. Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired.
