      1. Place frozen peas in colander and run cool water over them just until they are no longer frozen (avoid allowing peas to become soft/mushy).
      2. Drain thoroughly and transfer peas to a food processor, process until smooth.
      3. Add Monin Agave Organic Nectar and salt to the purée and process to combine.
      4. Add 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock and process briefly.
      5. Check consistency; if a thinner texture is desired, add additional stock and process again until combined.
      6. Force the pea purée through a sieve into a medium sauce pan to remove solids.
      7. Add and adjust salt to taste.
      8. Warm; gently over low heat until just hot (do not allow to boil).
      9. Ladle soup into serving vessels and drizzle a bit of white truffle oil onto the top of each serving.
      10. Garnish with a Parmesan Crisp on the side.
