Pea soup with smoked meats
Hello, comrades! The topic of our program is "Pea soup". One of my favorite dishes. In Serbia, we make bean soup with smoked meats, and here in Russia, the pea version deserves this honor. Smoked meats give this aroma, which brings great pleasure. Peas phenomenally cleanse the stomach. And for this dish, I personally prefer a salad of fresh cabbage, although the pickled version is also good.
Many people complain about peas and the fact that they take a long time to cook or do not cook at all. I do not have such problems. I buy broken peas. I soak them in the morning and cook every other day, after 24 hours. So, try it and don't worry.
Especially try to buy smoked dried meat. It doesn't matter: ribs, sausage, knuckle, brisket ... Lamb, beef, pork will do. Even dried poultry is good.
There is nothing complicated about it. Onions, carrots. I also add celery, a stalk of parsley or parsnips. So that the broth is richer. Everything is cooked for two hours. Sometimes plus 20-30 minutes. And the peas are boiled, and the meat comes off the ribs, knuckles ...
At the end of cooking, be sure to add salt, pepper and garlic.
If you have a good aromatic bell pepper, you can add it. Or a spoonful of dried paprika. And I have a recipe for an awesome pea soup with tomatoes and lamb shanks. More precisely, with pelatti, peeled tomatoes in their own juice. Here is the link, take a look. Also a great topic. It was made over an open fire. In a cauldron, a kettle. And it also turned out great. It doesn't matter that we didn't have smoked meat. What are your variations of pea soup, besides the classic? What are your secrets for boiling peas, write in the comments, share. Maybe someone will find all this useful.
