If your peas are whole (not split), it's best to soak them first, ideally overnight; split peas don't need soaking. Rinse the peas and set them to cook. Once they come to a boil, lower the heat and add a knife-tip of baking soda — this helps the peas cook faster without turning to mush. Just watch that the foam it creates doesn't boil over onto your stove. After 20–25 minutes, add the chopped chicken breast and salt. Sauté the onion and carrot in vegetable oil and add this to the soup. About 10 minutes later, add the potatoes cut into small cubes. Cook until everything is tender. It's best served with sour cream and parsley. Croutons or plain crackers go nicely with this soup, too — stir them in or use them in place of bread.
