List of products needed to prepare pea soup

All ingredients must be fresh so that the taste is at its best.

Preparatory work

Since peas take a long time to cook to make them soft, which can be uncomfortable, it is best to soak them in water for four hours before cooking. To do this, pour one liter of water into a container with peas and leave for the above time.

It is also better to prepare the meat in advance, namely, boil it for thirty minutes, drain the water. This is done so that all harmful substances and toxins are removed from the meat. But you still need broth, and to do this, boil the meat again in one and a half liters of water for about fifteen minutes, then remove it from the pan and cool until you can touch it with your hands. The broth for pea soup is ready. All you have to do is wait for the peas to swell, because they increase in volume and water, if necessary, needs to be added so that they are still saturated with moisture.

Cut the boiled meat into small pieces of any shape so that you can put it in the soup and leave it in some container until you wait your turn to cook.

And so, four hours passed, the peas were swollen and the broth was in the pan. We need to prepare the vegetables. We clean the potato tubers and cut them into cubes, first along, then across, fill with water so that they do not turn black and leave until the water boils. Then we wash and peel the carrots and grate them on a fine or coarse grater, whatever your heart desires. Next, prepare the onion, also peel and finely chop; here, too, you can trust your imagination and cut as you like. Fry the onions and carrots in a frying pan with butter, only lightly, control this process until the fried vegetables smell pleasant. The vegetables are ready for further operations.

Prepare the spices so that they are on hand. We put on the table salt, pepper and any other seasonings that you usually put in pea soups.

Add salt to the pea soup, boil for another minute, then lower the meat and maintain the same temperature for another five minutes. Stir everything periodically so that the peas do not burn to the bottom of the dish, otherwise the smell will be bad, and the soup will be impossible to eat. Add the potatoes, extend the boiling for another three minutes, then lower the prepared fried mixture of onions and carrots and boil for another minute, this is enough to preserve the vitamins in the vegetables.

Next, add black or red pepper to the pea soup with meat, this is up to the amateur, and you can also add any spices. The bay leaf is added at the end of cooking and left in the soup for ten minutes, and this is enough for it to have flavor, then you can throw it away rather than leaving it in the soup for a long time.

Delicious pea soup with pork

Ingredients

How to choose ingredients

I want to tell you how to properly cook pea soup with meat, in this case pork. First of all, you need to know how to choose meat. Meat on the bone, ribs and brisket are suitable for soup. The freshness of meat must be determined by color.

The pork should be a uniform, pink color. The elasticity of meat is also a sign of freshness. If you press with your finger, the dent should disappear immediately.
Now we choose peas. There are several types of this product: ground into powder, finely crushed (chopped), crushed in halves and whole. For soup, it is best to use peas, split into halves.

Pea powder cooks faster, but it is not suitable for preparing first courses. It will settle to the bottom of the pan and burn, so you will have to stir it constantly. It is not advisable to use pea chaff for food.

Producers crush grains spoiled by pests into cut pieces. As for whole peas, they hardly absorb moisture, so they will take a very long time to cook. And most likely it will remain firm.

Potatoes are difficult to choose based on appearance. But connoisseurs can distinguish its varieties. I recommend using proven potatoes for this soup that you have already purchased. Dark spots inside the root vegetable, unfortunately, are only noticeable when peeling. This is a sign of frostbitten potatoes. It can be eaten, you just need to cut out everything that has darkened.

How to choose beef

I usually advise choosing products in the store rather than at the market. But this applies to spontaneous unofficial markets, where there are no documents for goods. When choosing meat, the supermarket is not the best option.

As a rule, frozen meat is sold there, and it is difficult to say how long it has been stored. And at a good meat market there is a large selection, the main thing is to know how to identify a quality product. The beef should be red in color without mucus or foreign odors.

The fat should be white. Elasticity also matters; fresh meat springs back when pressed with a finger. That is, it quickly restores its shape.
