Pea soup is one of the most satisfying first courses, because the main ingredient is peas, which contain a large amount of protein and vitamins. There are many options for preparing pea soup, but today we will tell you how to prepare this soup quickly and easily, all you need to do is follow our tips.

The most delicious pea soup is made when it is cooked with meat broth. To prepare the broth, you can use any meat or smoked meat, but today we will prepare our soup using broth from pork ribs. Equally important in preparing soup is the correct selection of peas. We always use dried split peas. After pre-soaking it in cold water for 2-3 hours, or even overnight, the peas will cook very quickly. Now we start cooking the broth. To do this, we take good meat ribs, cut them into portions, remove excess fat from them and put them in a saucepan, fill them with cold water and put them on medium heat to cook.When the broth begins to boil, foam appears on it, we remove it all the time so that the broth is not cloudy, reduce the heat and add the soaked peas and cook for an hour and a half, stirring from time to time so that the peas do not stick to the bottom. We try, when the peas are almost soft, we add diced potatoes and cut the carrots into cubes, and we add a lot of them to this soup, since carrots emphasize the taste of peas. After 15-20 minutes, salt the soup to taste, add bay leaf and ground black pepper and cook for another 5-7 minutes. .

And now the last step. Add a little vegetable oil to a heated frying pan and fry the onion in it. We give a lot of onion and fry it until golden brown, later we grate the carrots on a coarse grater and simmer everything together for 10-15 minutes. Now we combine everything together and cook for a few more minutes, add chopped herbs, cover with a lid and turn off the heat. Let the soup sit for about half an hour. During that time, it becomes even more rich and delicious. Place a rib and finely chopped greens on each plate. Croutons made from black bread go very well with this soup. They are prepared very simply, fry slices of black bread in a hot frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil, adding spices to them. You can use any spices: curry, suneli hops, paprika, dried garlic.
