Heat the butter in a saucepan and sauté the onion until light brown.
Add the carrots and turnip and continue cooking 5 mins.
Add the peas and veg stock, and stir well.
Cover the pan, bring to a boil, and simmer 1 to 1½ hours until the peas are really tender.
Stir occasionally, and add water if necessary.
