Ingredients
Method
Pick out 12 of the smallest arugula leaves and set aside for garnish.
In saucepan, bring stock to boil; add peas, garlic, onions, salt and pepper. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until peas are tender, about 10 minutes. Add arugula; stir until wilted.
In batches, transfer to blender or food processor and purée until smooth. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate, uncovered, until cold. Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 days.)
Return to clean saucepan; bring to simmer. Ladle into bowls; stir in cream to create swirls. Garnish with reserved arugula.
