Ingredients

Heat a medium stock pot over medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil and heat. Add garlic and onion and saute for 5-6 minutes until onions are translucent.
Add pine nuts and saute for an additional 3-4 minutes until pine nuts are lightly toasted. Add peas and saute briefly, then add stock, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Place the immersion blender into the middle of the stockpot. Submerge the blender below the surface of the liquid, but above the bottom of the pot.
Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Move the immersion blender around, including up and down, to blend the ingredients for approximately 1 minute or until desired consistency is achieved.
