Steps

1

In a large soup pot, melt butter over medium high heat. Add olive oil. When the mixture is hot, add the chopped onion and celery.
2

Saute for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are translucent.
3

Add chopped garlic and stir for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the peas.
4

Add chicken broth, mixed herb, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil over high heat. You can cover it to make it go faster, but keep an eye on it so it doesn't boil over.
5

Once it boils, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the onions and celery are completely soft.
6

Turn the heat off. Use a regular blender with a towel over the top of the spout to let steam escape. You can use immersion blender if you have one.
7

If your soup is looking thick, feel free to add 1 extra cup of chicken broth if you want.
Add the cream to the soup and heat it up again on the stove.
8

Serve warm.
Enjoy 🌹
