Peas must first be soaked in cold water for 3-5 hours. Then rinse, add water, and bring to a boil. Skim off the foam and cook the peas until they begin to soften (cooking time varies depending on the type of pea - from 40 minutes to 1.5 hours). Do not salt the water.

Peel the potatoes and cut into small cubes.

Pour the potatoes into the pan with the peas, cook until the potatoes are ready (20-25 minutes). Then place 4-5 tablespoons of potatoes along with peas in a bowl and mash thoroughly. Return the mixture to the pan, add salt to the soup and stir.

Cut the onion into thin feathers or quarters, grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

Fry the onions and carrots in vegetable oil until the vegetables are soft. Place the vegetables in a saucepan, add soup seasoning, add paprika, bay leaf and chopped garlic.

Let the soup simmer over low heat for another 6-7 minutes, then turn off the gas. Very tasty and easy to prepare lean pea soup, pour into bowls, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and chopped herbs. Serve the soup with croutons or croutons.

Bean soups are extremely healthy and nutritious during fasting. In particular, pea soup, which I cook almost constantly during Lent.

Peas allow the stomach to quickly fill up and also nourish the body with proteins of plant origin. This increases energy and improves performance. The only disadvantage of peas is, perhaps, the increased gas formation that it tends to cause. However, each person reacts to pea dishes differently; some people are not bothered by gas at all. And for some reason, peas from different manufacturers are perceived differently by the gastrointestinal tract. Some people don't risk eating pea soup on weekdays. Well, you know what I mean.

There are general recommendations that exist to combat increased gas formation: drink more water, and also add carminative foods to your food, such as dill, for example. They are very suitable when we eat pea soup.

So, now about the soup itself. Its taste and energy value are such that a lean pea dish is not much different from a fast one. In addition, lean soup can be prepared without adding vegetable oil, which is suitable for those who adhere to a diet without oil on some days.

Ingredients for lean pea soup (approximately 2.5 liter pan):

  • Peas 1 cup;
  • Potatoes 3 pieces (if large);
  • Onion 1 pc.;
  • Carrot 1 pc. small;
  • Vegetable oil (sometimes with it, sometimes without);
  • A small bunch of dill;
  • Garlic 1 clove;
  • Salt to taste;
  • Water about 2 liters.

I don’t soak peas, although I used to do it. Can be left overnight in cold water. But I repeat, I don’t do this, I just cook the peas in a saucepan for 1-1.5 hours.

Next, I peel and cut the potatoes. Its quantity must still be considered according to the situation. It must be said right away that for a lean soup there should be a lot of potatoes; almost all the peas are boiled into puree. Add potatoes to the saucepan with peas.

Next, you can sauté the chopped onions and carrots with butter if you are thinking of pea soup with butter. Or you can just put them in the pan after the potatoes, then the soup will be without oil. When the potatoes become soft, add dill. I like it when there are a lot of greens floating in the soup, it’s thicker and tastier. Add water to the required volume.

If I cook pea soup without oil, then at the end of cooking I add one clove of garlic through a press and simply cover the soup with a lid.

When serving, you can add rye crackers to the soup, which will give it even more nutritional value.

To avoid problems with boiling peas, they must be filled with boiling water. Boiling water will easily destroy the thin shell of the peas, and the peas will quickly boil and become soft.

If desired, you can add a little more potatoes (cut into cubes or grated) to the lean pea puree soup; place them in the middle of cooking the peas.

Pour boiling water over the peas, cook after boiling and removing the foam for about an hour over low heat until the peas are boiled.
