   Presoak peas, if necessary, according to package
   directions. Drain well, if presoaked. In a large
   pot, add water or stock, whole onion, carrot, turnip
   or parsnip, marjoram, thyme, and salt. Cook until
   peas and vegetables are tender, about 1 1/2 to 2
   hours. Drain well. Mash peas and vegetables in
   blender or press through a sieve. In a small frying
   pan, saute the minced onion in butter until lightly
   browned; blend in flour and cook about 2 minutes. Add
   to blended peas and vegetables. Beat until fluffy and
   serve hot.
