Steps:
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, leek, and celery, and cook until soft. Add potatoes and 7 cups vegetable stock; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Prepare an ice-water bath. Fill another large saucepan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add salt and return to a boil. Add peas and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer peas to ice-water bath to cool. Drain and add to saucepan with vegetables and stock.
- Working in batches, puree the soup in the jar of a blender or bowl of a food processor. Strain liquid twice through a fine mesh sieve into another large saucepan. Add 1 cup of heavy cream and place saucepan over low heat. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar. Tie mint together using kitchen twine and add to saucepan; let steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove mint and discard. If soup seems too thick, add some of the remaining vegetable stock to thin.
- In a medium bowl, whisk remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the warmed soup. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a medium saucepan filled with water to a boil over high heat. Add peas and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and immediately transfer to ice-water bath. Drain and set aside.
- Slice the top and bottom of both oranges with a paring knife. Set one of the flat sides on your work surface. From top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit, cut away peel and white pith. Trim off any remaining pith. Holding the oranges over a bowl, cut along both sides of each segment, staying close to the membrane, to release. Add onion and chives to bowl; toss to combine.
- Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add lobster and cook until just warmed through. Add peas and orange mixture and stir to combine. Continue cooking until mixture is just warm.
- Divide lobster mixture evenly between four warmed soup bowls. Ladle soup around lobster. Sprinkle with mint flowers, if using, and serve immediately.
