Put the onion, potato and stock in a saucepan. Bring to the boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until potato is tender, stirring occasionally.
Stir in peas, mint and black pepper. Cover and bring back to the boil; simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat; cool slightly. Blend in pan until smooth using hand-held stick blender (or transfer to a food processor or blender, blend until smooth, then return to pan). Reheat gently until hot.
Serve in soup bowls, garnished with a swirl of yoghurt (if using) and a sprinkling of chopped mint.

Cook's tip:

This soup is suitable for freezing (once cooled and without the yoghurt garnish) for up to three months. Defrost, then reheat gently until piping hot before serving.
