What to do with over-ripe peas

I would have suggested saving them for seed, but you've already picked them have you?

If so, pea soup?

Yes picked already.

Great idea, I've got some pea soup on the boil now, will let you know how it turns out.

I used the following recipe which was pretty darn tastey:

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons butter
1 red onion
2 cups chicken stock
Handful of mint leaves
3 cups fresh shelled green peas
1 potato
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons whipping cream (optional)

DIRECTIONS
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock, peas, mint and potato, season to taste with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the peas are tender, 12 to 18 minutes.
Puree the peas in a blender or food processor in batches. Strain back into the saucepan, stir in the cream if using, and reheat. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
