Pea soup with apples
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Pea soup is undoubtedly one of the most popular dishes. Thick and hearty, it's especially enjoyable on damp autumn and frosty winter days. Yet even in summer, you can pleasantly surprise your family by adding a regular apple to the ingredients—preferably a green one. It will give the soup a new flavor, and the slight, tangy sourness will be a hit even with children. This dish is quick and easy to prepare, especially if you soak the peas overnight. The soup is ready to serve.
