In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add scallion and cook until wilted, about 4 min. Add peas and broth, increase heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Add cheese and half-and-half; stir to combine. Transfer to a blender, in two batches, and blend until smooth.

Stir in salt; add pepper to taste. Serve warm or chilled (refrigerate, loosely covered, until cold, about 1 hr or up to 1 day). Garnish with pea pods, if desired. Makes 7 cups.
