Season with 2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, 10–⏱️ 12 minutes.

Working carefully, use an immersion blender to blend about a quarter of the soup into a coarse purée. (Alternatively, carefully blend about 1½ cups soup in an upright blender until smooth; return to pot.)
4
Add ½ cup frozen peas to soup and heat over medium until peas are bright green, about ⏱️ 2 minutes; remove from heat.

Divide soup among serving bowls. Top with coarsely chopped fresh dill and a drizzle of olive oil. Pass lemon wedges for squeezing. Do ahead: Soup can be made 3 days ahead. Cool to room temperature, then chill, covered in an airtight container, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat over medium-low.
