Preparation
Step 1
Melt butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add 3 cups broth; bring to boil. Stir in peas and lettuce. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until peas are tender and flavors blend, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
Step 2
Working in batches, puree soup in blender until smooth. Return soup to same saucepan and bring to simmer, adding more broth by ¼ cupfuls to thin soup to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Divide soup among 4 bowls. Top with dollop of crème fraîche and/or bacon.
