Cómo preparar Green Pea Soup With Dried Peas
- Rinse 1 cup of dried split peas and soak them in 4 cups of water for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the soaked split peas, 4 cups water, 1 cup chopped ham hock (or 4 slices bacon), 1 medium carrot (chopped), 1 bay leaf, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the peas are very tender.
- Remove the ham hock (or bacon) and bay leaf from the pot. Discard the bay leaf. Set the ham aside to cool slightly, then shred the meat.
- Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the shredded ham (or bacon pieces, crumbled), and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- For croutons: In a small pan, toss 2 cups cubed bread with 2 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of salt until lightly browned.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the crispy croutons. Enjoy!
