Prep Time: 10 minutes
Serves: Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (10oz/250g) frozen peas

Directions:
- Cover the peas with hot water and let stand for 5 minutes. Drain.
- Working in batches if needed, process the peas, stock, mint, and thyme in a blender until smooth. Add more stock if the soup is too thick. Season well with salt and pepper, and process again.

- Use frozen fava beans or lima beans instead of the peas, or use a combination of peas and beans.
