Cook onion about 10 minutes or until lightly browned and soft, stirring frequently.
Blend onion, peas, spinach, lemon juice, thyme, and two cups of chicken broth in a blender or food processor until very smooth.
Return to the same saucepan.
Stir in remaining broth.
Gently heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
