Yellow pea soup with water

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare peas, herbs, potatoes and carrots. Fill the peeled potatoes with water.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the peas and pour in 0.7 liters of boiling (!) water. Thanks to boiling water, the shell of the peas will be destroyed and the peas will be guaranteed to boil even without soaking.

3. STEP 3

   

   Boil the peas until they swell.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add another 0.7 liters of water (any temperature). Cook until the peas begin to fall apart.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the potatoes into small slices and grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Add to the soup, add salt and cook after boiling for 15 minutes. Stir the soup so that the pea puree does not stick to the bottom.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat the vegetable oil with spices (turmeric, ground black pepper, paprika, asafoetida), add the spicy oil to the soup 5 minutes before the end of cooking.

7. STEP 7

   

   Serve the finished soup hot.

8. STEP 8

   

   The potatoes should be soft and the peas should be completely boiled.

I tried to cook it - the soup is very tasty, but the portions are some kind of Chinese (3 servings for two is just normal). I ran into the same problem. I can't find asafoetida. And it should just complement the taste and aroma, if you believe what you read. I went around all the shops in the area - no one had heard of this. I asked spice traders at the market, they were surprised, they smiled, but they also didn’t know. I looked on Wikipedia for a different name. I'm afraid that if I ask the traders for stinking resin, bad spirit or damn feces, they will laugh out loud and even twist my head. So for now I’ll make do with garlic, and if possible I’ll go to another market and ask around. More decent names remain - asmargok, hing, ilan... I hope these are not Iranian swear words.
