Инструкция
- Place the peas in a bowl. Cover with cold water and let soak for 4 hours or overnight at room temperature. Add water if needed so the peas are always completely submerged. Rinse and drain. Set aside.
- In a large pot over medium heat, soften the carrots, leek, onion and rutabaga in the oil for 5 minutes. Add the salt pork, peas, broth, water and thyme. Bring to a boil.
- Cover and simmer for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, stirring frequently, until the peas have burst and thicken the soup. Season with salt and pepper.
