Sauté onion In a medium pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent.
Add flour to make a roux Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns slightly golden.
Add paprika and broth Sprinkle in the paprika, then gradually whisk in the broth to prevent lumps.
Add peas Stir in the peas and cook for about 10–15 minutes, until tender.
Finish with sour cream In a small bowl, mix sour cream with a spoonful of the hot liquid to temper it, then stir it back into the pot. Simmer gently (don’t boil) for 2–3 more minutes until creamy.
Season and serve Add salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar if you like. Sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
