  • Soak the peas for two hours, ideally overnight; that way they swell nicely and won't need a long simmer. If you don't have time to soak them, cook them for an hour over low heat. Then add the peeled, chopped potatoes, carrot, and onion to the peas, along with the whole smoked breast. After twenty minutes, lift the breast out of the soup and cook the vegetables another twenty minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and cook 15 minutes more over low heat. Take it off the heat and purée the vegetable mixture smooth with a blender. Serve the soup in bowls topped with the smoked chicken (cut into pieces), croutons, and fresh parsley. Enjoy!
