Steps:
- 1. Put 8 cups of the peas and 4 cups of the water in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Add the salt, pepper, mace, cloves, thyme, and marjoram, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer for about 45 minutes, until the peas are very tender.
- 2. Drain the peas, reserving the cooking liquid in the sauceupan. Puree the peas in a food processor or with a food mill. If using a food mill, discard the skins. Press the puree through a sieve into the reserved liquid, stirring to combine thoroughly. Cover and set aside to keep warm.
- 3. Combine the remaining 2 cups of peas with the remaining 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until the peas are just tender.
- 4. While the second batch of peas is cooking, melt the butter in a sauté pan. Add the green onions, and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and mint and stir together, cooking until the spinach has just wilted. Blend in the flour, and cook for about 1 minute.
- 5. Drain the peas, reserving the cooking liquid, and stir the peas into the warm soup along with the spinach mixture. Heat until it begins to simmer, adding the reserved pea-cooking liquid-a little at a time-if the soup is too thick. Season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
- 6. Pour the soup into a tureen, and garnish with diced toast and shredded calendula blossoms, if desired.

Steps:
- Clean the green peas and put it into hot water for 5 minutes. Grate of slice carrot and sauté on butter; after a while, mince onion and sauté both on butter until onion is translucent.
- Add finely sliced pancetta and sauté not more than 5 minutes. Add flour and fry about 2 minutes, than add cold water and make creamy liquid (like sauce veloute).
- Cut green parts of spring onion, mince parsley and celery leaves and add into pot. Add green pea and about 1 liter of beef stock. Add salt and pepper.
- Cook until green peas are soft. When soft, remove green pea and blend it into puree (leave 1/6 of peas untouched). You can blend it with stick blender so you do not have to remove geen pea. Add thyme and cook 15 minutes.
- At the end add sour cream and minced chive. Serve with croutons.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen peas. Frozen peas are a great option if you don't have fresh peas on hand. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many peas to the pot, they won't cook evenly. Add them in batches if necessary.
- Cook the peas just until they are tender. Overcooked peas will lose their flavor and color.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to your liking.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese. This will add a pop of flavor and color.
