Pea soup with turkey
Description
Perfect for lunch. Pea soup is a simple dish that doesn't require special culinary skills. Just keep in mind that when the peas start to boil, they react very vigorously. Therefore, do not cover the pot with a lid right away. There will be a lot of foam from the peas. Reduce the heat to minimum and gradually skim off the foam. Then cover the pot with a lid and continue cooking the soup. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
