Instructions
Place a pan over a medium heat and add the unsalted butter and olive oil.
Once the butter has melted, add the celery and onion and fry until softened. It usually takes about 5 minutes.
Once soft, add the garlic and chopped parsley and stir in well.
When the smell of the garlic perfume hits you, add the peas and stir.
Add the ½ cup of water and the chicken/vegetable stock and bring to a rolling simmer for 1 – 2 minutes until the peas are cooked.
Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (in batches) and blend until you get the consistency you like.
Transfer the blended soup into a clean saucepan and warm though.
Serve immediately with a swirl or two of cream.
