Number Of Ingredients 4

three 10-ounce packages frozen peas, thawed
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves plus fresh mint sprigs for garnish if desired
3 tablespoons half-and-half, or to taste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan combine the peas with 1/4 cup water and the mint leaves and boil the mixture, covered, for 4 minutes, or until the peas are tender. Drain the mixture well and in a food processor purée it with the half-and-half, the butter, and salt and pepper to taste.
