cups

1-1/2

Directions:
1
In a medium saucepan, sauté the onion in the butter until soft and translucent. Add the peas and the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cook until peas are tender - about 5 minutes.
2
Place this mixture in a blender and puree until smooth. Put in a bowl and add the cream. Season with salt, pepper, and stir in the mint. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
3
After the soup has been chilled, run it through a sieve, pressing through small bits of mint (important note: do not skip this part! you'll wind up with a grainy texture; the goal is silky smooth texture). At this point, the soup may be very thick. If it is too thick, add milk ¼ cup at a time until it is the desired consistency.
4
Serve in demitasse cups for a small starter, or shallow bowls for something a little more substantial. Garnish with a dollop of crème fraiche.
