Minted Curried Fresh Pea Soup Recipe

Melt the butter in a large heavy bottomed pot.

Add the onion and saute until golden, about 10 minutes.

Add the broth, water, peas, and curry powder and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, covered for 45 minutes.

Stir in mint leaves and black pepper.

In batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor until perfectly smooth.

Strain through a sieve if necessary.

Return it to the pot, then stir in the milk, adding more if the soup is too thick.

Serve hot with a dollop of yogurt and a mint leaf on each serving.
