Thaw the peas in a sieve. Heat the oil in a large pot. Sauté the diced onion (and garlic) in it. Add the carrot and celery slices and lightly roast. Top up with the stock and cider. Add the peas and oregano and simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes. Bone the smoked pork and cut into 1 cm cubes. Peel, quarter, core, and thinly slice the apples. Add the spring onion rings, apple slices, and diced smoked pork to the vegetables and let stand for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. For those who are particularly hungry, serve with boiled potatoes.
