Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add one chopped onion and two minced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add Peas and Broth: Stir in 4 cups of fresh green peas and 4 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Remove pot from heat and let cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture until smooth.
  4. Season and Heat: Return the blended soup to low heat. Stir in ½ cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt, along with salt and pepper to taste. Heat gently for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Finish with Mint: Fold in a handful of freshly chopped mint leaves just before serving.
