Pea & Mint Soup with Lemon Cream

From Fine Cooking Magazine

You can serve this soup hot or cold. Its flavor is brighter if you use very fresh, young peas. The starchiness of mature peas can give the soup a split-pea flavor, so if you can find only older peas, use frozen instead. For a vegetarian variation, use instead of the chicken broth and water.
