Pea Soup with Smoked Meats

Prepare the ingredients according to the pea soup with smoked meats recipe.

Rinse the peas in cold water. Soak the peas in cold water overnight (for approximately an evening).

Place the ribs in a pot, cover them with water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 40 minutes over medium heat, covered.

Remove the meat. Then strain the broth and return it to the heat.

Add the pre-soaked peas to the boiling broth, cook for approximately 1 hour over low heat, covered, stirring occasionally.

Separate the meat from the bones.

Peel, wash, and cut the vegetables: carrots and celery into strips (or cubes). Finely chop the onion.

Cut the potatoes into cubes.

Heat a frying pan, pour in vegetable oil. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté them in vegetable oil over medium heat, stirring, until golden (3-4 minutes).

20 minutes before the soup is done, add the meat, sautéed vegetables, and potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and spices.

Cook the soup over low heat, covered, until done (another 20 minutes). The pea soup with smoked meats is ready.

Serve small croutons with the finished pea soup with smoked meats. Enjoy your meal!
