And today I will tell you how to cook pea soup with smoked ribs and then a step-by-step recipe with photos. The soup really turns out to be very tasty and quite filling, so no one will be left hungry.

I really love pea soup, but until a certain time I cooked it in regular meat broth. I never thought that you could cook pea soup using smoked meats. By the way, instead of smoked ribs, you can use any smoked meat.

Preparing such a soup is not at all difficult, however, it takes a long time to cook until the peas are boiled. To be honest, I haven’t yet found a way to make peas boil quickly. I soaked it overnight and added soda during cooking, but to no avail. You have to cook the soup for more than 2 hours.

So, first you need to soak the peas in water. In the evening I rinse it under running water, put it in a deep bowl and fill it with water.

In the morning, I drain the water from the peas and wash them well again. Then I transfer it to a saucepan with water.

I cut the ribs so that they fit in the saucepan, add them to the peas and put them on the fire.

In some recipes, I saw how the authors advised to first cook the broth from smoked ribs for about 40 minutes, and then add peas and cook for another 40 minutes. I probably don’t understand something, or I’m doing something wrong, but my peas are cooked about 2 hours and this time is not enough for it to boil. Therefore, I immediately put the peas and ribs in a saucepan and cook.

When the water starts to boil, foam appears and I remove this foam with a spoon.

After about an hour, I take the ribs out of the pan and leave them to cool. And I leave the peas to cook further.

At this time, you can prepare the dressing. I peel the onion and cut it into small pieces.

I also peel the carrots, wash them and grate them on a coarse grater.

Place the onion in a heated frying pan with vegetable oil and fry until golden brown.

Then, add the carrots and sauté for another 5-7 minutes.

Wash the potatoes, peel them and put them in a saucepan with the peas. I put the potatoes whole rather than cutting them into cubes. At the end, I simply beat the soup with a blender until smooth. It's just how everyone in my family likes it.

Separate the meat from the bone and cut into small pieces.

When the potatoes are ready, add the dressing to the soup.

Next, I beat everything with a blender until smooth.

- perhaps the most appetizing variation of a soup that is so popular in our country and belongs to traditional Russian cuisine. Let's see how to prepare such a wonderful first course.

Smoked meats are the best thing to add to pea soup. Many people love pea soup with smoked ribs; this is a traditional soup of Russian cuisine. Stunning aroma, bright rich taste, nutritional value - all these are the undoubted advantages of such pea soup.

How long it takes to prepare pea soup depends on the type of pea chosen. The fastest way to cook is polished split peas, but unshelled whole peas will need to be pre-soaked for 2-4 hours and cooked much longer.

Hi all. Today we will prepare pea soup with smoked ribs.

Pea soup is one of the most delicious, aromatic and satisfying dishes in Russian cuisine. It is very difficult to resist and not try this magnificent masterpiece. Thanks to the smoked meats, this dish has excellent richness and a unique taste.

Our family really loves this dish and eats it with pleasure. The necessary products can be purchased at any store or market.

How to make pea soup with smoked meats

For this we need:

Preparation:

1. I pre-soaked the peas two hours before cooking so that they become softer and soften during the cooking process. The water turned out to be cloudy. It is necessary to rinse it under running water and add it to the saucepan.

2. After we washed the peas, they became clean, put them in a saucepan with water, put it on the fire and wait for it to boil thoroughly. It is not necessary to rinse the peas; I did this so that my broth was more transparent.

3. Now let's move on to other products. We will cut the products in stages. We take out our ribs - this is the next ingredient that will go into our soup. We need to cut the ribs in portions, in small pieces, so that it is convenient to eat. We cut it so that our ribs look beautiful in the pan. If the pieces are too big for you, you can chop them. I want my pieces to be about the same size, so I cut the long ones in half. The smell is very pleasant, the soup should turn out great. Place the chopped meat in a separate bowl.

4. Now let's start preparing the frying for our soup. Rinse cutting board after meat. Take the onion and cut it into small pieces, grate the carrots on a coarse grater (you can use a fine grater, it doesn’t matter if you wish).

5. To prepare the frying, we put the frying pan on the fire, add a little sunflower oil, lay out the onions. It is necessary to fry it until the pieces begin to stick from each other.

6. Next, add the carrots and mix well. If the carrots are finely chopped, add only when the onions are soft. The oil used was fresh, not refined, so it foamed. This will not spoil the taste of the soup. The fire should not be big. As it is now fashionable to say, “so that our vegetables are sautéed.” Mix and give them the opportunity to interact with each other. The carrots and onions are fried, turn off the heat and let the vegetables finish cooking in a hot frying pan.

7. During the cooking process, a white foam forms in the broth; we need to remove it. For this we will use a regular slotted spoon. After boiling, you need to cook for about 30 - 40 minutes. This time should be enough for the peas to boil.

• If the peas are of such a variety that they do not soften after they have been soaked, you can easily grind them with a blender and you will get a kind of mush.
• If you want the peas to cook faster, cover the pan with a lid; you can open it slightly, not completely, so steam will escape.

8. While our broth is being prepared, I suggest we take care of the potatoes. We cut it into portions so that they fit in our mouth. If the peas have not yet been cooked, and you have already prepared the potatoes, you should fill them with water so that they do not darken. The disadvantage of this process is that starch, which contains useful substances necessary for our body, is washed away.

I advise you not to pour it, but to cut it before the process of lowering it into the broth.

9. Our broth is boiling desperately, stir it periodically, the foam will accumulate less.

10. While the soup is preparing, I suggest you take care of the greens and chop them. I chose dill for pea soup; fragrant and fresh parsley is also perfect, it is advisable not to use thick stems. It is better to cut dill from the top.

11. Another ingredient that I like in pea soup is bell pepper; it is not necessary to add it, but it is very tasty and aromatic. If, for example, you have fresh pepper, why not. We remove the seeds, we don’t need the grains, and cut them into small cubes or slices, basically as you like.

12. 40 minutes have already passed, it’s time to check our peas, as we see they are boiled. If you want it to be finer, you can grind it using a blender or mashed potato masher. I won't touch anything anymore.

13. Add the following ingredients: chopped ribs, let them boil for 10 minutes.

14. Now lay out the potatoes, which we have already cut into portions.

15. After the potatoes are cooked, pour out the frying mixture. The soup immediately changed color, let it simmer a little.

16. It's time to add the sweet bell pepper and all the other ingredients that are left. The soup continues to boil. The aroma comes from our ribs.

17. Now is the time to add salt, just don’t overdo it, since our smoked ribs have already been salted. You can also pepper the soup to taste. Mix and leave for a minute to rise. We check the potatoes, take them out, if they break perfectly, then they are ready.

Look how rich, aromatic, and I assure you the soup is very tasty. Turn off the stove and let it brew for about 30 minutes. Add herbs and cover with a lid.

Bon Appetit everyone!

Since ancient times, pea soup with ribs has been the main dish of the poor in almost all of Europe. This happened because peas are an unpretentious and very productive plant.

Stages of preparing soup

Here's a step-by-step recipe with photos for thick pea soup with old-fashioned smoked pork ribs.

2. Pour water over smoked pork ribs and cook for 1 hour. There is no need to salt the ribs.

9. While the soup has cooled slightly, prepare the croutons. Cut a loaf of white bread into small cubes and fry in a dry frying pan without oil.
10. Pour soup into a bowl and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve croutons on a saucer.

This is how soup has been prepared in Russia since ancient times. Peas are usually soaked overnight and cooked in the morning. If the peas sit in water for several hours longer, and then immediately boil with the ribs for 2 hours, the peas will become mushy. Pea soup with smoked ribs is ready. After all, some people like their peas to be completely boiled.

Preparing soup takes the housewife a lot of time. To prepare this soup, you need to remember to soak the peas in advance. And modern life dictates its own rules. In the morning, running off to work, a woman sometimes does not know what she will cook for dinner.

Making pea soup will be even easier with a multicooker

And then multi-pressure cookers came to the aid of all women in the world. You can prepare soup with ribs in the Polaris multicooker in just 30 minutes. Because you don’t need to soak peas to make soup. And the soup turns out just as tasty and healthy.

There are several special nuances that help give the soup an additional flavor. Frying can be prepared not with vegetable oil, but with raw smoked bacon. In this case, the bacon is cut into very small pieces. First you need to fry only the bacon, and then add the onions and carrots to it. The roast goes into the pea soup with ribs along with the fried bacon. And this will give it additional aroma and taste.

You can replace the bay leaf with Herbes de Provence spice. The soup will have the aroma and flavor of mint and marjoram. These herbs will make the split pea soup with the smoked ribs taste a little different.

There is subtlety in the smoked ribs themselves. Before adding vegetables, the ribs can be removed from the broth. Separate the meat from the bone. Cut the meat into pieces and return it back to the broth. Then cook according to the recipe.
