1 - Very good indeed and an excellent way to use peas past their prime!
2 tablespoons butter
(1 onion chopped is fine) 2 medium shallots, finely chopped OR 1 leek
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
1/2 fresh head of lettuce, chopped
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
3 cups fresh shelled green peas
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons whipping cream (optional)
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Cook the shallots until soft and translucent. Pour in the liquids, peas and lettuce, season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the peas are tender, in about 15 minutes.
Add the mint and then purée the soup until smooth. Strain back into the saucepan, stir in the cream if using, and reheat to a slow simmer. Check the season and if found wanting, add salt and/or pepper before serving.
