PP meatless pea soup vegan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook PP pea soup without meat, lean vegan? Prepare your food. Absolutely any peas are suitable - dry, frozen, fresh. With different types, only the cooking time will differ, but the principle itself will remain the same. In addition to onions and carrots, you can add leeks, celery stalks, and garlic to the soup. You can replace the vegetable broth with plain water, or use broth alone, or broth and water together. Choose dry spices to taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   The peas for this soup do not need to be soaked first, but you can do this up to 8 hours in advance if you wish. I used dry split peas. Rinse it well in several waters until transparent.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion and cut into cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash, peel and cut the carrots as desired. You can use cubes, straws, or you can grate it on a coarse grater, like I did.

5. STEP 5

   

   Take a pan in which you will cook the soup. We will fry vegetables directly in the pan, it’s very convenient, no extra pan will get dirty. Pour olive oil into it and place on low heat. Add the onion and fry it, stirring, for a few minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add carrots to the onion, add dry spices to taste, and add a bay leaf. I took French Provençal herbs, they contain thyme. Stir the vegetables. Fry everything together over low heat for a few more minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add peas to the pan.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour in broth or water. Add salt and ground black pepper.

9. STEP 9

   

   Bring the soup to a boil and skim off the foam - when cooking peas there is a lot of foam at the beginning. Keep the heat low; do not cover the pan. Cook the soup until the peas are softened. Dry peas take about an hour to cook; fresh and frozen peas take less.

10. STEP 10

    

    Adjust the thickness and consistency of the soup to your taste. If it seems too thick to you, pour in a little boiling water; if it seems too thin, continue cooking. My soup became very thick after 40 minutes, but the peas were still not completely cooked. I added boiling water and cooked for about half an hour.

11. STEP 11

    

    The resulting soup was puree-like, very aromatic, with a rich spicy taste. Serve it hot; croutons and croutons go very well with it. Bon appetit!

Delicious soup. And for those who can’t live without meat, I’ll offer a version of pea soup with pork.

It seems like I often cook pea soup, but I learned about this method for the first time, for me it’s a discovery) Usually the peas are first cooked for a long time, and when they’re ready, everything else is added. And here, first the frying is done, and then the peas are added and it all cooks together. My soup took about an hour to cook. During this time, the peas and the onion-carrot duo became friends so well that the broth turned out to be incredibly tasty and rich. I also beat the soup a little extra with an immersion blender so that some of the peas turn into puree. The soup turned out to be very tender and satisfying, despite the lack of potatoes. I agree that simple lean soups are well complemented with spices. I added smoked paprika, curry powder, freshly ground black pepper and dried basil. The aroma is great! Thank you for the wonderful recipe, it deliciously diversified our Lenten menu!
