Pea Cream Soup
Description
A hearty first course. Pea cream soup will be a perfect fit for a dinner party. It's both a healthy starter and an elegant meal at the same time. This versatile soup is exactly what I recommend you prepare. It's filling and nutritious. Pork ribs can easily replace any smoked meats. Leftover bones from shish kebab work wonderfully too.

Step 1
Rinse and soak the peas. Chop the peeled vegetables. Cut the potatoes and carrots into slices or cubes, and the onion into half-rings. Heat olive oil in a pot. Sauté the vegetables in it until softened. Add the ribs and sear them until golden brown.

Step 2
Transfer the soaked peas to a saucepan. Cover with water and cook until the peas are tender. The longer you cook the soup, the more tender the dish will be. Season with salt and pepper to taste 15 minutes before the cooking is finished.

Turn it off after an hour and a half. Remove the ribs. Take an immersion blender. Blend all the ingredients directly in the pot (until smooth). Pour in the cream and bring the soup to a boil, stirring.
