Microwaved Pea Soup

For a shot of spring in the dark days of winter, frozen peas come in handy. We microwave them along with shaved onion and garlic, then blend with fresh tarragon leaves to create a fine purée. It tastes great, looks lovely, and involves just 20 minutes of work—three qualities you'll welcome any time of year.
