3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 (10-ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed
1 medium head Boston lettuce, chopped
4 green onions, chopped (green and white parts)
5 cups lower-sodium chicken broth
1 (15-ounce) can corn kernels, drained
1/4 teaspoon salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
5 tablespoons sour cream

1. Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add peas, lettuce and green onions. Cook until onions are translucent, stirring frequently.
