Delicious Green Peas & Arugula Soup

really simple but yumm soup i created couple weeks ago:

1 bag frozen green peas, defrosted
1 small shallot, chopped
1/2 bag arugula
1Q vegetable stock
1 cup sugar snap peas slivered
2 cippolini onions, thinly sliced & roasted in oven
1t olive oil
1t truffle oil
sea salt (Maldon or Fleur de Sel) & ground white pepper to taste

Heat olive oil in a saucepan & add the chopped shallot. when lightly browned, add the arugula & saute for 1-2 min. it should just lightly shrivel, without overcooking. add the vegetable stock & green peas. let the soup start boiling & turn off heat as soon as it does. blend with hand blender or food processor - i like to keep it slightly chunky for the texture.

Meanwhile, dunk the slivered sugar snap peas in hot, boiling water for 1 min & drain immediately - they should remain crisp.

Bring the blended soup back to saucepan & turn on the heat to low. let it simmer for 1-2 min while you add salt & pepper. add a little water if needed to reach desired consistency.

serve the soup in individual soup bowls. garnish with slivered sugar snap peas & roasted cippolini onions. drizzle a tad of the truffle oil into each bowl & sprinkle a little sea salt for finishing touches.
