Pea soup … We have mutual sympathy with him: I love him, but I can do it! I'm kidding, of course, but, as you know, every joke has a grain of truth. I cook such a pea soup with smoked brisket in a maximum of 25-30 minutes, provided that dry store peas from a pack are soaked in boiling water overnight.

It is not necessary to boil the peas for 1.5-2 hours until they are soft, soaking and ordinary baking soda are doing this instead. Yes, yes, it is soda that helps cook dried legumes in 20 minutes.

But first things first! We will prepare all the ingredients we need.

Pour boiling water over dried peas in the evening and leave for 8-12 hours to swell. At the same time, we will choose high or deep dishes, since the legumes will increase in size, absorbing water.

In the morning, rinse the peas in water, drain the old ones, and pour them into a saucepan with a non-stick bottom or into a cauldron. Pour in 0.5 tsp. soda. Do not add more baking soda - peas can absorb its bitter taste during cooking. Pour boiling water into a saucepan so that it slightly covers the peas, and place on the stove. Bring it to a boil.

At this time, the contents must be monitored - foam will form. Reduce heat and remove with a spoon or slotted spoon. Boil the peas for 10 minutes.

Then put it on a sieve and add water and soda.

Peel the vegetables. Rinse them in water and cut them into cubes. Large - potatoes, small - onions and carrots. In the smoked brisket, separate the bacon from the meat with a knife and also cut the bacon into cubes. Pour vegetable oil into a saucepan and add both vegetable and smoked bacon slices into it. Place on the stove and fry for 4-5 minutes. If you don't have cookware with a non-stick bottom, use a pan or cauldron.

After the specified time, pour boiling water into a saucepan, add salt, pepper, dried thyme. Boil vegetables for 10 minutes.

Add boiled peas and let the first dish boil for another 8-10 minutes until cooked through. A few minutes before cooking, add dried herbs: dill, parsley.

Pour the fragrant and rich pea soup with smoked brisket into deep bowls and garnish with the remaining smoked meat and chopped fresh herbs. You can serve croutons with the soup.

Enjoy it!
