Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp unsalted butter
6 large green onions, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 3/4 cup)
1 tsp orange zest
1 (16-oz) bag frozen green peas
3 cups vegetable broth, divided
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
6 large fresh mint leaves
garnishes: 1/3 cup heavy cream, whisked to the consistency of thin white sauce, and 4 mint sprigs

Directions:

Heat butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat 1 minute. Add green onions and orange zest, and sauté, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add peas, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 10 to 15 minutes more or until soft, stirring once or twice. If peas threaten to scorch, add a small amount of vegetable broth, and stir.
Scoop into a blender or food processor, add 1 cup broth and next 4 ingredients, and puree until smooth. Transfer half of mixture to a large nonreactive pitcher.
Add remaining 2 cups broth to pea mixture in blender, and puree at high speed until smooth. Combine with mixture in pitcher, cover, and chill at least 2 hours before serving.
Whisk well or homogenize with a blender, and ladle into chilled soup bowls. Garnish, if desired.
