Recipe Summary Finnish Pea Soup In A Slow Cooker

This is a nice pea soup recipe for cooking in a slow cooker. Works well even as a vegetarian version. Should be suitable for cooking in a normal pot with minor adjustments. This soup also freezes well.

Ingredients | Batch Cooking Recipes For Freezing Vegetarian

1 pound dried green peas

1 pound pork, cut into 1/2-inch strips (Optional)

6 cups water

1 cube chicken bouillon

1 large onion, diced

1 cup chopped celery (Optional)

1 cup chopped carrot (Optional)

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 teaspoons smoked salt

2 teaspoons dried parsley

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon dried marjoram

1 bay leaf

¼ cup mustard, or to taste

Directions

Place peas in a large pot and cover with water. Let soak, 8 hours to overnight.

Place pot with peas and soaking water on high heat and bring to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes, and remove any foam that forms. Drain and set peas aside.

Fry pork in a skillet over medium heat until slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine 6 cups water and chicken bouillon cube in a pot. Bring water to a boil to dissolve the bouillon cube.

Add peas, cooked pork, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, smoked salt, parsley, thyme, black pepper, marjoram, and bay leaf to a slow cooker. Pour bouillon in last.

Cook on Low for 7 hours, then on High for 2 hours more. Serve with mustard alongside.

If you can find some, I highly recommend Turun sinappi or Auran sinappi Finnish mustard.

You can use normal salt if smoked salt is not available.

If cooking without a slow cooker, you should cook on a low temperature for 3 to 5 hours, and remember to stir it often. Also, you should use at least 13 cups of water.
