1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup frozen sweet peas , fully thawed, excess moisture drained
3/4 cup tiny dry acini di pepe pasta
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Parmesan cheese , for serving

Instructions

In a medium pot or Dutch oven, warm butter over medium-high heat. Add in the onion and scallions; sauté for about 3 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, 20 seconds.
Pour in the broth, water, and salt; bring to a boil.
Add in the pasta; reduce heat to a medium simmer and cook for 6-7 minutes until pasta is tender.
Add in the peas and cook for a few minutes until warmed through. Then stir in the lemon juice.
Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Notes

Sub chicken broth. You can sub in chicken broth if you don't need this soup to be vegetarian. Note that the flavor won't be as rich.

Use orzo. If you can't find Acini di pepe, orzo is a good substitute, although you'll need to adjust the cooking time.
