1. In a large saucepan cook onion in butter over medium heat about 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in the garlic; cook 1 minute more. Add stock and peas. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until peas are very tender. Add the snipped mint and sugar.
2. Blend with an immersion blender* until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm or cover and refrigerate until well chilled. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh mint leaves. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
*Test Kitchen Tip: If no immersion blender is available, cool soup slightly. Transfer the mixture one half at a time to a blender container. Cover; blend until smooth. Return to saucepan; reheat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve as above.
