GARDEN AND SNAP PEA SOUP WITH VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Prepare an ice bath, and set aside. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onions, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent, about 8 minutes.
• Add stock; bring to a boil. Reserve about 1/4 cup each snap and garden peas. Add remaining snap peas to saucepan, and return stock to a boil. Add remaining garden peas; cook until all peas are tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer pan to ice bath. Stir until mixture is cool.
• Working in batches, transfer mixture to the jar of a blender; process until it is smooth. Return to saucepan, and set over medium heat. Stir in cream, and adjust consistency with more stock, if needed. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, prepare a small ice bath, and bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add reserved snap peas and garden peas. Blanch until they are just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to ice bath; drain in a colander. Cut snap peas into small pieces.
• To serve, divide soup among soup bowls, and garnish each serving with blanched mixed peas.
