9 ingredients
Serves 4.

Depending on how fresh they are, peas can vary greatly in how long they take to cook. If you can taste before you buy, choose peas that are tender and sweet rather than starchy. Crème fraîche, a cultured cream, adds a silky smoothness and tart flavor to the soup, while sorrel gives it a fresh, lemony tang. If you can’t find sorrel, use lemon basil or regular basil.
