Remove the skin from the onion, cut it into small cubes and sauté them in the oil in a saucepan until translucent. Add the peas and sauté for a while. Pour the eel broth and simmer the peas for about 50 minutes until soft. After 45 minutes, season with a pinch of marjoram and a pinch of cayenne pepper. 3.

Blend the peas with the clear soup in a hand blender, add the whipped cream with the butter and garlic and season with salt.

Tip: The pleasant taste of smoked fish goes great with pea soup. However, if you don’t love it, you can omit the fish and bring a few cubes of bread crisped in butter to the table with the soup instead.
