Pea soup with bacon and ham

Do not rush to disown this culinary recipe, they say, pea soup, that we do not know about it. Meanwhile, this food is very healthy and satisfying. Moreover, pea soup with ham, and not with meat, as it usually happens.

So, the soup is not caloric. We cook for six. Since the soup is based on dried peas, it should be soaked overnight. Soak the fruits in a liter of cold water. In the morning you will see soft peas that will not need long cooking. Although, if you forget to do it, put it in a saucepan with one liter of cold water. After bringing the peas to a boil, boil it for one or two minutes and leave it for a couple of hours before use.

Melt the butter in a frying pan, cook the onion with bacon and garlic on a small flame, until the onion becomes soft. Now we will salt the peas and add it to the broth. Add fire and bring to a boil. Remove the foam. Season the soup with a bouquet of garnishes and oregano. Do you hear what scents are spreading around the apartment? Cover the pot with a lid and we will continue to cook the soup, about an hour-45 minutes. Until the peas become soft.

Let's cool the finished soup a little. Then we'll mash half of it in a food processor. Put it all back in the pan again, heat it up, season it and add the ham. It remains only to sprinkle with ground black pepper. Serve to the table with crusty bread.

Bon appetit!
