  5. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until peas are tender, about 20 minutes.

  9. Pour the soup through a strainer, reserving liquid, and transfer the solids to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, or use a food mill fitted with the medium disc (or just use the handy dandy blender).
  10. Add 1 cup of the cooking stock and process until smooth.
  11. Return pureed soup to the pot.
  12. Add the heavy cream and additional cooking liquid, aboout 1 cup, until the soup is of the desired consistency.
