Pea soup with mushrooms

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook pea soup with mushrooms? Prepare all ingredients. To prepare this soup, use yellow split peas. For greens, you can choose dill or parsley. The recipe specifies the quantity of potatoes as 2 tubers, I used 4 since my potatoes were small.

2. STEP 2

   

   Fill the peas with cold water in advance and leave to soak overnight. After the time has passed, drain the water from the peas, place them in a colander and rinse under running water. This will get rid of foreign debris and impurities. Place the washed, soaked peas into a saucepan, cover with clean water and place over high heat.

3. STEP 3

   

   When the water boils, remove the foam from the pan, reduce the heat to medium, add salt and place the pre-peeled whole onion into the pan. Cover the pan with a lid and leave the peas to cook for about half an hour.

4. STEP 4

   

   Meanwhile, wash the potatoes, peel them and rinse them under water to remove any dirt. Cut the peeled potatoes into medium cubes. Half an hour after you start cooking the peas under the lid, add potato cubes to the pan. Close the lid and cook for about 10 minutes more.

5. STEP 5

   

   At this time, wash the carrots, peel them and grate them on a coarse grater. After 10 minutes of cooking the potatoes, add the grated carrots to the pan.

6. STEP 6

   

   The next step is to prepare the champignons themselves for cooking. Rinse the mushrooms with quick movements under running water to remove sand and other contaminants; if desired, remove the so-called “skirt” for greater aesthetics. Cut the champignons into slices and lightly fry them in vegetable oil for 5-7 minutes. There is no need to fry the mushrooms until golden brown. At the end of frying, salt and pepper the mushrooms to your taste.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the fried champignons in a saucepan with soup, season with bay leaf, and add salt to taste if necessary. Bring the soup to a boil and simmer for a few minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the finished hot soup into bowls, sprinkle with chopped herbs (onion, parsley, dill) and serve. You can also serve croutons with pea soup with mushrooms.

Previously, it seemed to me that mushrooms and legumes cannot be combined with each other. But the food in the refrigerator and the search engine on the website led me to the idea of ​​making pea soup with mushrooms. I soaked the peas overnight, so they cooked quickly enough. I cut the onion into cubes and fried it along with the mushrooms. What can I say, it turned out to be a tasty first course, after which there was no feeling of heaviness. Mushrooms added new flavor notes to ordinary pea soup, and at the same time looked impressive when served. Wonderful recipe, thanks!
