Steps:
- Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a medium saucepan filled with water to a boil over high heat. Add peas and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and immediately transfer to ice-water bath. Drain and set aside.
- Slice the top and bottom of both oranges with a paring knife. Set one of the flat sides on your work surface. From top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit, cut away peel and white pith. Trim off any remaining pith. Holding the oranges over a bowl, cut along both sides of each segment, staying close to the membrane, to release. Add onion and chives to bowl; toss to combine.
- Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add lobster and cook until just warmed through. Add peas and orange mixture and stir to combine. Continue cooking until mixture is just warm.
- Divide lobster mixture evenly between four warmed soup bowls. Ladle soup around lobster. Sprinkle with mint flowers, if using, and serve immediately.

SPRING PEA SOUP WITH MINT
As a chef, peas have become one of my favorite spring ingredients. I love this soup because it's super easy and tasty. As the weather gets warmer, I love keeping some on hand in the fridge and serving it chilled. It's so refreshing. Hot or cold, this is the perfect spring soup!

Steps:
- Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until just before it
- starts to brown, about 1 minute. Stir in the peas, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and boiling water. Reduce to medium-low heat and simmer until the peas are tender, about 2 minutes.
- Let the pea mixture cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling only halfway. Add the spinach and mint. Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth. Depending on the size of your blender you may need to blend the soup in two or three batches.
- Return the soup to the saucepan and adjust its consistency as desired, adding room temperature water if it's too thick. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the soup hot or place the soup in an ice bath for about 20 minutes and serve chilled. Top with pea shoots, chives or mint.
FRESH PEA SOUP WITH MINT
Steps:
- Heat olive oil in large kettle over medium heat. Add onions, salt, and pepper, and cook 5 minutes until onions have softened. Sir in the garlic and cook 1 minute until its aroma is released. Add the potatoes and saute 5 minutes until they begin to color. Add the chicken stock, lower the heat, and simmer gently 25 minutes until potatoes are soft. Add the peas and cook 3 minutes until tender but still bright green. Puree the mixture either through a food mill, with an immersion blender, or in a food processor, until smooth. Place in a clean pot, stir in the cream, and rewarm gently. Stir in the fresh mint and serve.
- In Portugal, this soup is often made with fresh fava beans. Use them if you can find them. Mint (horteln) grows abundantly in Portugal and is widely used in savory dishes, frequently in combination with coriander (coentro).
CHILLED PEA-MINT SOUP
Buttermilk-simmered peas, plenty of mint, a touch of salt: That's it. The chef Daniel Patterson brought the recipe to The Times in 2007. It benefits mightily not just from the use of fresh peas, but from real, homemade buttermilk as well, "nothing like the cultured, processed stuff that goes by the same name," he wrote. This is true, as it happens, but luckily fresh buttermilk can increasingly be found at farmer's markets and in specialty markets. Top the chilled soup with a few peas and a grind or two of fresh black pepper.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, bring the buttermilk to a simmer and add 4 cups of peas and a large pinch of salt. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes over medium heat, stirring often so that the buttermilk does not boil over. The peas should not be fully cooked and still have a slight bite to them.
- Transfer the peas and liquid immediately to a blender with the mint leaves and, starting on low speed, carefully blend (holding the lid on firmly with a dishcloth), working up to high speed for 60 seconds.
- In order to preserve the vibrant color and flavor of the peas, the soup must be cooled immediately. Pass through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, then rest the bowl inside a larger bowl full of ice water. Stir continuously until cool, tasting occasionally; you will notice that the soup becomes sweeter as it cools. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper. Refrigerate until cold.
- To serve, ladle soup into bowls and top with fresh peas and freshly ground black pepper.
