Pea and Mint Soup

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add the frozen peas and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the fresh mint leaves, salt, and black pepper.

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.

Return the soup to the pot to warm through if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional mint leaves and a dollop of plain yogurt if desired.
