Once the cycle is finished, allow the soup to sit for 10 minutes on natural release. Carefully open the pressure valve to release the steam away from you. Remove the lid and stir in the cornstarch mixture, green peas, and cream. Place the lid back on and simmer for 3 minutes on sauté mode.
Serve the soup with freshly chopped parsley if using.
