  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.
