Most of our “standard” cereal soups are prepared according to one principle: beef broth, potatoes, carrots, onions, cereals and seasonings (and sometimes dressing of browned vegetables). Pea soup is no exception, but differs in greater richness, pleasant consistency and beautiful color.
On sale pea groats can be in different forms - sometimes they are simply dried fruits of ripe peas, and sometimes they are specially processed. The first type of cereal requires pre-soaking and long cooking, the second can be added to the finished meat broth along with the rest of the ingredients.
