Tips & variations
-
To prepare pea soup, it is better to use not whole peas, but halves or crushed ones. It boils faster and does not require pre-soaking.
-
The foam that forms when boiling peas should not be removed, but “drowned” in the broth, so the soup will turn out to be more rich.
-
You can take any smoked meats - pork ribs, brisket, bacon, legs, wings, backs and even sausages.

Crackers and croutons are most suitable for this soup. You can buy them at the store or make your own. When serving, pea soup can be garnished with herbs.
