Instructions

Preparation: Begin by gathering all the ingredients required for this delightful dish.
Bring Chicken Stock to a Boil: In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a rolling boil over medium heat.
Add Ingredients: Once the stock is boiling, add in the green peas, chopped onions, brown sugar, salt, and saffron. Stir well to combine.
Cook Peas: Cover the pot and allow the mixture to cook over medium heat for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the peas are tender and soft.
Mash or Puree: Once the peas are cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Using a potato masher or a blender, mash or puree the pea mixture until you achieve your desired consistency.
Rewarm: Return the pureed peas to the pot and place it back on the stove over low heat. Allow it to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the puree is heated through.
Serve: Ladle the warm mashed peas into soup bowls, and if desired, garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh parsley or a twist of black pepper for added flavor.

For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a dash of lemon juice or a sprinkle of your favorite herbs and spices.
