Fresh Pea Soup

1. In a hot saucepan, coat with oil and brown onions and then garlic, about 5 minutes. 2. Season with salt and pepper. 3. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. 4. Add the peas and cook until soft, about 5 to 8 minutes, check often. Do not overcook or they will darken. 5. During the last minute, add the spinach. 6. Immediately blend using a hand blender and when pureed, check for seasoning. 7. Soup will be a bit thick which is fine but for better texture strain or use a food mill. This last step is optional. 8. You can add a drizzle of basil oil to make this extra fancy. Serve with seared scallops for quick summer meal.
