Instructions
Step 1
To make a delicious pea soup, you first need to define its base. If you want to cook soup with meat broth, you need a loin or smoked pork ribs.
Step 2
You can shorten the cooking time of the soup by using split split peas soaked in boiled water overnight. Place a glass of peas and three medium potatoes in a 3-liter pot of soup. Soak the peas overnight, change the water to fresh in the morning and cook the swollen peas until cooked. Depending on the quality of processing the peas, the cooking time will be different.
Step 3
When the peas are tender, add the finely chopped pork ribs or smoked meats and diced potatoes to the saucepan and cook for another fifteen minutes. At this time, finely chop the onion, grate the carrots on a coarse grater and fry in vegetable or butter. Add to the pot and cook for about seven more minutes. Add chopped herbs two minutes before cooking.
Step 4
Fresh croutons can be a great addition to pea soup. To do this, cut the loaf into small cubes or cubes and put on a dry baking sheet, and then dry in the oven or in the microwave.
Step 5
When preparing double pea soup, use fresh green or canned, frozen peas. First, sauté the onions and herbs, garlic, two teaspoons of mint and pieces of fresh or dried ginger in olive oil.
Step 6
Take 100 g of dry split peas per liter of water, bring to a boil and cook for about forty minutes until soft. Then add 200 g of fresh, canned or frozen peas and cook for another 5 minutes.
Step 7
Then there are two options - leave the pea soup as it is, or make a puree soup. For a delicious puree soup, pour the slightly chilled cooked soup into a blender and beat until smooth, add the sautéed vegetables and seasonings, sprinkle with grated hard cheese and serve with croutons.
