📜 Ingredients for 8 servings:

500g (1 lb) peas, fresh or frozen
500ml (16 fl oz) chicken broth
150g (5 oz) leek
1 medium onion
80g (3 oz) butter
200ml (7 fl oz) half-and-half
salt, pepper
bread for croutons

Chop the onion and the leek - they should be of the same volume.
Heat the butter in a pot over medium heat until the butter melts.
Add the onion and the leek, let simmer, stirring occasionally until softened, 5 minutes.

Stir in the peas. Pour in the broth so that the liquid almost covers the peas.
Add salt and pepper, bring to boil very quickly and cook for 1 minute.

Pour into a blender and blend the soup until smooth. Pour in half-and-half while blending.
Finally, pour the soup through a strainer to remove lumps.

Cut the bread into cubes. Add 1 tbsp butter in a pan and cook the croutons for 3 minutes until golden brown.

Serve the soup with a few croutons on the top.
