Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the shallots are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Peas and Broth

    Stir in the sweet peas and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the peas are tender.

  3. 3

    Blend the Soup

    Remove the pot from heat and add the fresh mint leaves, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Use an immersion blender or transfer to a standard blender to puree the soup until smooth.

  4. 4

    Chill the Soup

    Allow the soup to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the chilled soup into bowls and garnish with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream if desired.
