Directions:
Melt butter in a large heavy bottom saucepan or pot over medium heat. Cook the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in chicken stock, water and peas. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until peas are tender, 12 –18 minutes. Puree the soup using an immersion blender, or puree in batches with a blender.
