  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft but not browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add 2 cups of broth and bring to a boil. Add the shelled peas, reduce the heat, and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes for fresh peas and around 2 minutes for frozen.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Add the parsley, mint, and the remaining 2 cups of broth to the pot. Blend this soup in a regular or immersion blender until smooth, adding a bit of water to thin it out if the soup is too thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Whip the heavy cream and sour cream in a small bowl.
  • Serve the soup hot topped with chopped chives and a spoonful of the cream mixture.
