Very simple pea soup
Description
Hearty and aromatic soup. We prepare the soup without meat; it will be rich and flavorful thanks to the peas. Garnish the finished soup with sour cream or fresh herbs, as well as croutons, which are more familiar to us. Serve hot. This soup is delicious—if you're unsure, make a small portion first. Use regular dried peas, either red or green, whole or split. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
