Pea soup can become one of your signature dishes if you learn how to cook it right.
It is enough to simply boil the peas sufficiently to achieve a pleasant aroma and flavor.
This can be achieved with the help of three secrets, notes chef Yulia Arkhipova , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of culinary arts.
What are the 3 secrets to remember?
Don't forget to process the peas
There are many methods that supposedly help soften peas without soaking. But you shouldn't resort to them. The most delicious and high-quality soup will be if you remember to leave the peas in water overnight.
The legume will retain its characteristic taste and will have an ideal texture.
Don't be afraid of soda
Some people think that soda will only spoil the pea soup: supposedly an unpleasant taste appears. This is not true. If you add soda carefully, the result will be decent.
As a result, the soup turns out more aromatic and rich. Half a teaspoon per 2.5 liters of broth will be quite enough.
Spices
Spices should not be ignored when preparing pea soup. It is worth paying attention to asafoetida, garlic powder, ground ginger, various types of pepper, paprika and turmeric.
