Fresh Pea Soup with Sour Cream

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

This vibrant green pea soup comes together in just 22 minutes with minimal hands-on time—you're mostly waiting for the peas to simmer. The key trick is blending and straining the soup to remove pea skins and achieve that silky-smooth texture. A drizzle of sour cream and a sprinkle of crunchy toppings turn this delicate dish into something truly special.

  1. 1/4

    Sauté the onion

    In a pot, sauté the finely chopped onion in a knob of butter. Just lightly, so it stays pale and doesn't brown.

  2. 2/4

    Cook the soup

    Add the peas and pour in the stock. Stir everything together and season with pepper and nutmeg. Simmer for another 10 minutes — no longer, so the soup keeps its lovely colour. Then stir in the sour cream and simmer for one more minute.

  3. 3/4

    Blend and strain

    Blend the finished soup until creamy. Then pass it through a sieve, since blending alone won't get rid of the pea skins.
