This is a very simple recipe. You only need a few ingredients, the soup is ready under 30 minutes and it is almost impossible for the cooking to go wrong.
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.
