This soup is based on a common recipe of the day, and it is very close to
what Mr. Jefferson used to enjoy after riding about the plantation in
Monticello.

Bring peas to a boil in salted water. Simmer until tender and drain,
saving the water. Pur”še in a food processor with a bit of the water. Return
to the pan and add the rest of the water, the sugar and the roux. Stir
constantly over heat until the mixture thickens a bit. Add 1/4 cup of the
soup to the beaten yolks, stirring constantly, and then stir the yolks into
the soup. Top with the parsley and the butter.
