- potato – 3 pcs;

Preparation
- Thoroughly rinse all the vegetables and greens under running tap water. Peel the onion, remove the seeds from the bell pepper. Peel the carrot. We will use chicken fillet in our work, and two pieces will be just enough.
- Wash the dry peas until the water is clear. Place them in a thick-bottomed pot of suitable volume (we have 2.5 liters). Pour in filtered water. Set to boil, adjusting the heat level between medium and minimum.
- Rinse the chicken meat thoroughly under running water. Cut into convenient pieces, they can be absolutely arbitrary.
- Add to the boiling contents of the pot. Add salt.
- Finely chop the carrot (for example, into sticks), and chop the onion into small cubes.
- Chop the bell pepper randomly.
- Cut the celery into cubes. Note that this ingredient is not mandatory, but it beautifully highlights and harmoniously emphasizes the taste, you will definitely notice it in the final dish.
- In a comfortable frying pan, heat the necessary amount of vegetable oil, add all the chopped vegetables. Leave to sauté until soft for about 10-15 minutes.
- Peel the potatoes. Cut into small cubes with a sharp knife.
- Add the potatoes to the pot.
- Everything cooks together for about 45 minutes (this is the optimal cooking time if the peas were not soaked beforehand). Then we will add the sautéed vegetables and let the soup cook for another 10 minutes.
- Pea soup with chicken according to the classic recipe is ready, and we will immediately pour it into deep plates. We will sprinkle the hot surface of the soup with finely chopped greens (we used fresh green onion feathers and a fragrant basil sprig). All that’s left is to invite our favorite tasters to the table and take a taste. Bon appetit!
