Today I made pea soup for lunch just like in kindergarten. I had 0.5 cups of peas. Since it boils well, I didn’t soak it. Putting a pan with meat on the fire (I took a chicken back for the soup), brought the water to a boil, skimmed off the resulting foam and added washed peas to the pan. Cooked for 40 minutes. Then I added fried onions and carrots and potatoes and continued cooking until the potatoes were soft. I salted the soup at the very end and also added bay leaves for flavor. It turned out very tasty! I love thick soups when the peas are boiled until pureed. And so it happened! The soup is aromatic, satisfying, and looks very appetizing. Thank you very much!

I also always cook with smoked meats. And this soup turned out to be so... tender, or something, in comparison with the usual pea soup. Thanks for the delicious soup. She ate with great pleasure.
