- Place half of the cold peas in blender jar with half of the simmered broth. Cover lid with a kitchen towel, as warm liquid will expand when blended. Puree till smooth. Add in half of the creme fraiche and half of the mint, and puree. Pass through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan. Repeat with remaining peas, broth, creme fraiche, and mint.
