- Use fresh or frozen peas for the best flavor and color. Avoid canned peas as they may not provide the same vibrant green color and fresh taste.
- For a smoother texture, blend the soup thoroughly and pass it through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any remaining solids.
- Adjust the amount of mint based on your preference. If you prefer a subtle mint flavor, start with half a cup and add more to taste.
- Sauté the onion in butter until it's translucent to add a depth of flavor to the soup before adding the peas and broth.
- After blending, return the soup to the pot and heat gently, being careful not to boil, to preserve the vibrant green color.
- Garnish with a drizzle of heavy cream and a fresh mint leaf to enhance presentation and add an extra layer of richness.
Minted pea soup is a delightful blend of flavors that is both nutritious and satisfying. The combination of peas, mint, and a hint of cream creates a smooth, velvety texture that is hard to resist.
