Pea soup with smoked pork hock
Description
Perfect for lunch. Peas are very healthy, but they need to be prepared in advance. To make pea soup with smoked chicken drumstick, you'll need split peas, a chicken drumstick (you can also use chicken breast), medium-sized potatoes, spices (I sometimes add bay leaf in addition to the standard set), and about 3.5 liters of water. Ladle into bowls and serve.
