If fresh late spring peas are available, substitute for the frozen peas. This chilled soup tastes of springtime, and makes a perfect first course before an elegant ham dinner of Glazed Ham with Dried Cherry Caramelized Onions.

- 2 green onions (chopped)

- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
- nutmeg (freshly grated to garnish)

Garnish servings with freshly grated nutmeg and shredded carrot.
