Ingredients:

Serving

4 lbs sweet peas (to yield about 4 cups shucked )
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 small onion, chopped
3 cups chicken stock
1 1/4 tsp coarse salt (to taste)
fresh ground white pepper
4 tsp creme fraiche
2 tsp chopped fresh mint

Directions:

Shuck the peas. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and sauté until soft, 5 to 6 minute Try not to let it brown. Add the stock and salt, raise the heat, and bring the pot to a boil. Add the peas, cover, and return the pot to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer the peas until just cooked through, 2 to 5 minute depending on size. Transfer the peas and some of the liquid to a blender and purée until smooth. Add the remaining liquid and blend again. Pass through a coarse strainer or food mill. Serve warm, topping each bowl with 1 teaspoons of the crème fraîche and 1/2 teaspoons of the chopped mint.
