Bonjour Doraida !
Here the distinction is about whether to use "un peu de" (uncountable) versus "peu de" (countable): you will need the "de" in both cases.
I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !

Elle a peu d'amis? But you can count your friends.
This question relates to:French lesson "Quelque/quelques vs Un peu de/peu de = A couple/a few vs a bit of/few (French Indefinite Adjectives)"

Aurélie, I recommend making the distinction between "a few friends" translated as "quelques" and "few friends" translated as "peu de" clearer in this lesson. As wriiten in the lesson, the usage of quelques and peu de appears to depend on countable and uncountable things. quelques (plural)
Used with countable things it means a couple of, some, a few.
[un] peu deUsed with uncountable quantities, un peu de means a little, a bit of

I have the same question. "Friends" (amis) seems countable. I hope somebody replies.
