Pea soup has great nutritional value. Therefore, it is recommended to include it in the menu during the cold season. The method of preparing a dish depends on a person's taste preferences and on his state of health. If you are a fan of rich soup, you can use pork, lamb, beef or smoked meats for the broth. Otherwise, use chicken, turkey, rabbit, or just vegetable oil.
