Pea soup with smoked sausage
Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. Let's get started. 1. First, rinse the peas and soak them for 4 hours. 2. Then pour water (2.5–3 liters) into a pot and add the peas. Cook the peas for about 1 hour, until they are soft. 3. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small pieces. Add them to the peas and cook for 5 minutes. 4. Then add the smoked sausage. Cut it as you prefer—into cubes or strips. 5. Cook everything together for another 15 minutes, until the potatoes are fully cooked. 6. Peel the carrots and onion. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater and chop the onion. 7. Sauté the carrots and onion in vegetable oil. 8. Add the prepared sautéed mixture to the soup. Stir well. 9. Season the pea soup with smoked sausage with salt and pepper. 10. Cover with a lid, turn off the heat, and let the soup steep for a while. Good luck with your cooking! Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
