Lean pea soup

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook lean pea? Prepare peas, potatoes, carrots, onions, vegetable oil (since the dish is lean, we exclude butter or ghee). You will also need some salt, spices and fresh herbs.

2. Step 2:

   

   To make the peas perfectly boiled and the soup turned out delicious, there is a little secret to starting cooking lean pea soup. Pour dry peas (no need to soak) with a small amount of BOILING water. Add a little salt, ground cinnamon on the tip of a knife, bay leaf and a little vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and cook until the peas swell, then you can add water to the desired amount. So you don't have to stand at the stove, constantly removing the foam

3. Step 3:

   

   While the peas are cooking, peel the carrots and onions. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, finely chop the onion into pieces of any shape. Heat vegetable oil with spices (curry, turmeric, ground black pepper, paprika), add chopped onions and carrots. Spasser the vegetables until soft.

5. Step 4:

   

   Potatoes must be thoroughly washed, peeled and cut into small cubes. When the peas are almost ready, add the chopped potatoes to the soup. Add salt to taste. Cook until the potatoes are fully cooked. Stir the soup periodically so that the boiled peas settling to the bottom do not burn and stick to the bottom.

6. Step 5:

   

   At the end of cooking, add a roast of carrots and onions, as well as some chopped fresh herbs to the lean pea soup.
