Pea soup is a tasty and healthy dish, but sometimes it can be difficult to prepare.

For example, the dish turns out to be far from as rich and bright as it should be.

In this case, you need to understand that the incorrect cooking method is to blame, notes Yulia Arkhipova, a culinary expert for the online publication BelNovosti.

How to protect yourself from making bland pea soup?

Don't forget about salt

Many people know that salt should not be added during the cooking of peas: they simply will not boil and will remain hard. But salt is still needed, otherwise the soup will be of poor quality.

In this case, just remember to add salt about five minutes before the end of cooking.

Spices

You definitely shouldn't cook pea soup without various spices, otherwise it will turn out too simple and uninteresting. Add bay leaf, paprika, turmeric and a little hot pepper.

It is best to add these ingredients at least five minutes before the end.

Don't forget about greens

Aromatic herbs are the simplest and most proven way to improve the quality of soup several times. Objectively, dill will go best with a pea dish.
