Description

This is a vegetarian version of the soup. You can also make the soup with any meat broth and pieces of meat—chicken, beef, or pork. For a spicy variation, you can add finely chopped smoked sausage 5 minutes before it’s done.

Ingredients

Yellow Beets - 1,70 glasses
Onion - 1 piece
Carrot - 1 piece
Potato - 3 pieces
Bay leaf - 1 piece
Herbs - 5 stalks
Garlic - 1 clove
Salt - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Soak the peas in cold, clean water, preferably doing this in advance; I usually do it overnight. Boil the peas by covering them with water.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and carrot and sauté them in a pot with oil over low heat for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Dice the potatoes and add them to the sautéed vegetables, stir, and pour in water. Once the water comes to a boil, add salt and cook on low heat until done. (You can also add any seasoning to taste.)

Step 4

When the potatoes are soft, add the cooked peas, stir, season with salt, add a halved clove of garlic, fresh herbs (parsley, dill), and a bay leaf. Simmer everything on low heat for another 10 minutes.
