Pea soup on chicken broth
Description
Perfect for lunch. To be honest, in my mind chicken broth and peas never really went together—until someone treated me to this soup. It turned out to be not only incredibly delicious, but also very easy to prepare, especially if the broth is already ready. So, here's a simple recipe for pea soup with chicken broth—presented for your enjoyment! First, rinse the peas. You'll need to do this several times until the water becomes almost clear. Then cover the peas with cold water, bring to a boil, and skim off the foam. Drain the peas in a colander and rinse under running water. Pour boiling broth over the peas and place on medium heat to simmer. Wash and peel the vegetables. Sauté finely chopped onion and grated carrot in a small amount of vegetable oil until softened. Transfer the sautéed mixture to the pot with the peas, add diced potatoes, and continue cooking until everything is fully tender—the potatoes and peas should become completely soft. Blend the soup with a hand blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, stir in garlic pressed through a garlic press, and bring to a boil once again. Serve the soup hot, ladled into bowls. Garnish with finely chopped green onions, top with croutons, and serve immediately. I assure you, no one will be able to resist this dish. The soup is ready to serve.
