Pea and Mint Potage

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large pot, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in butter until softened.

   Tip: Be careful not to burn the onions.

2. 2

   Add the peas, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, let it cool and puree it in a blender.

   Tip: Be careful when handling hot blenders.

4. 4

   Stir in the fresh mint leaves and stems, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

   Tip: Don't overcook the mint, as it can lose its flavor.

5. 5

   Finally, stir in the milk and cook over low heat until warmed through.

6. 6

   Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh mint if desired.
