INGREDIENTS

500 g frozen peas
800 ml chicken broth
200 ml cream, min. 31%
1 tablespoon sour cream
100 g washed white part of leek
100 g peeled onion
10 g granulated sugar
100 g butter
10 medium mint leaves
pinch of ground pepper
10 g salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Finely chop the leek and onion. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 70 g of butter, add the leek and onion, stir, cover with a lid, and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir again.
2
Add the frozen peas, increase the heat, and stir thoroughly for 2 minutes. Pour in the boiling broth, season with salt and pepper, add sugar, and bring to a boil. Add both sweet and sour cream, bring to a boil again, and remove the saucepan from the heat.
3
Add mint leaves, the remaining butter, and thoroughly blend the soup in a blender. Then strain it through a sieve into a clean pot. Briefly reheat the soup before serving and season with salt to taste.

Tip

If you want the soup to have a fresh green color, you must not cook the peas for too long, as they turn gray with prolonged cooking. You can serve the soup with toasted croutons made from a roll or bun.
