● 1 tablespoon butter
● 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
● 1 medium onion, chopped
● 1 stalk celery, chopped
● 2 cloves garlic, chopped
● 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or parsley
● 6 cups peas, fresh or frozen
● ½ cup water
● 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, "no-chicken" broth, or vegetable broth
● 1/2 cup half-and-half (optional)
● ½ teaspoon salt
● Freshly ground pepper to taste

👉 Heat butter and oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat until the butter melts. Add onion and celery; cook, occasionally stirring, until softened, 4 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and thyme (or parsley); cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds.

👉 Stir in peas. Add water and broth; bring to a lively simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer and cook until very tender, about 1 minute.

👉 Puree the soup in batches in a blender until smooth. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.) Stir in half-and-half (if using), salt and pepper.

✔️ It's also great to use frozen vegetables when the produce section looks bleak.

Serve and enjoy! 💚
