garlic and cook 1 minute until its aroma is released. Add the  potatoes
and saute 5 minutes until they begin to color. Add the  chicken stock,
lower the heat, and simmer gently 25 minutes until  potatoes are soft.
Add the peas and cook 3 minutes until tender but  still bright green.

soup is often made with fresh fava beans.  Use them if you can find
them. Mint (horteln) grows abundantly in  Portugal and is widely used
in savory dishes, frequently in  combination with coriander (coentro).
