Ingredients

These quantities are roughly for 3 servings, scale them up as needed..

• 400 g of peas, canned or frozen
• 200 g of onions
• vegetable oil, butter or other kind of fat
• ~3 cloves of garlic
• dried marjoram
• salt and pepper
• bouillon cube
• milk or cream (optional)

Preparation

• Dice the onions into fine pieces.
• Put some oil/butter into a pot and set it to high heat.
• Fry the onions on high heat for a few minutes until they turn glassy, they can even go a tiny bit brown.

|

• Add in all your peas.
• Add water until all the peas are submerged.
• Add salt, pepper, diced (or pressed) garlic and a bouillon cube.
• Add the marjoram, use a lot and cover the entire surface of the soup with it.

|

• Mix everything and keep the heat on high until the soup starts boiling.
• Turn the heat down, add a lid and boil for 15 minutes.
• Use a masher or a hand-held mixer and mash the peas to your prefered consistency.
• Dilute the soup. You can use water if you prefer a watery soup, but I would recommend using milk for a creamier result. You can even use cream for an extra creamy soup.

|

• Boil for additional 2 minutes after diluting.
• Enjoy!
