Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the peas

    Add the sweet peas and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the peas are tender.

  3. 3

    Blend the soup

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the fresh mint leaves. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the mixture until smooth. If using a regular blender, be sure to allow steam to escape.

  4. 4

    Season and chill

    Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Allow the soup to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the chilled soup into bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt and a few mint leaves.
