Instructions
Cook the shallots in butter: In a medium saucepan (2 1/2 to 3 quart) melt the butter on medium heat.
Add shallots and cook until softened, but not browned, a couple minutes.
Add the broth and mint sprigs to the shallots, increase the heat and bring to a boil.
Add the frozen peas and salt and pepper to taste. Return to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the peas are just tender, 3-5 minutes.
Discard the mint and purée the soup in a blender until completely smooth.
Blend in the cream. Taste and correct seasoning.
Reheat to serve warm, or chill to serve cold.
Serve garnished with crème fraîche and mint strips.
