- Ingredients
- 2 Tbsps good quality olive oil
- 1 yellow onion (peeled; trimmed and diced)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (peeled and chopped)
- 10 spears Asparagus (rough ends trimmed and coarsely chopped)

Preparation steps
1.
Heat the olive oil in large saucepan; sauté the onions and garlic, stirring occasionally until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add asparagus to the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for 3 minutes until asparagus begins to soften. Add peas and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the peas and asparagus are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
2.
Add mint leaves to the soup. Using an immersion blender or hand blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
3.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, divide among serving bowls and top with a dollop of sour cream. Can be served warm or cold.
