A very nutritious, appetizing and tasty soup to give a lot of positive emotions and does not take much time. We will definitely tell you about the peculiarities of its preparation and the intricacies of the choice of products. But first, a little history.
History of the dish
Pea soup has been known since ancient times. Even the ancient Romans and Greeks willingly cultivated and cooked peas since 400 BC. On the streets of Athens, traders with hot pea soup were quite commonplace. The main ingredient in this soup is obviously peas, either dried or raw. The color of this dish can be from light yellow to dark green and even khaki.
Pea soup is still popular in the world today. In Britain, this once-working-class food now occupies quite a place of honor among the gourmet in the form of "Tender Pea". In Germany, everyone adores the famous Eintopf, which, in addition to the peas themselves, also contains meat products. No less popular is Berlin style pea soup, which is cooked only from yellow peas with the addition of potatoes and salted pork ears.
In Holland, one of the variations of pea soup is called snert and is prepared in the form of a thick stew only from green peas and always with pork and potatoes. They also love pea soup in Denmark, Sweden, Finland and in the countries of Eastern Europe, which cookbooks speak eloquently about. That is why we considered it our duty to tell you how to cook it correctly and here you need to remember a few subtleties:
- It is always better to soak dried peas in advance - 2-3 hours;
- Meat for the soup should be chosen not ice cream and it is advisable to add to such a soup at least a couple of pieces of smoked meats - they will add a special piquancy;
- It is also better to use potatoes not young, but the one that is already full of starch - so the soup will be more rich.
