Pea soup with smoked wings
Peas are an excellent source of plant protein and carbohydrates. Dishes made from them are very nutritious and are recommended for people leading an active lifestyle.
Legume soups are made with meat and vegetable broths. The most delicious and aromatic first courses are achieved by adding various smoked ingredients. Soup made from pork ribs turns out to be richer and higher in calories. However, with the addition of smoked chicken thighs and wings, the dish will be gentler on the stomach and pancreas.
Sometimes, housewives complain that the peas do not cook well and remain hard in the finished soup. To speed up the cooking process, take split peas (halves) or pea flakes (cooking time is half). Try soaking the peas using the method described below.
Preparing peas for cooking:
- Soak the peas in boiling water for one hour. For every 100 g of split peas, take 400 ml of water and 3 g of baking soda.
- After soaking, change the water and cook over moderate heat for about two hours.
- To reduce gas formation in the stomach, add a parsley root to the pot with boiling peas.

Ingredients
Show ingredients
- split peas – 400 g;
- smoked chicken – 400 g;
- raw potatoes – 450 g;
- carrot – 1 pc;
- bell pepper – 1 pc;
- onion – 1-2 pcs;
- sunflower oil – 100 ml;
- garlic – 2 cloves;
- green onion and parsley – 0.5 bunch each;
- spices for first courses, salt – to taste.
Preparation
- Half an hour before the peas are done, increase the water volume in the pot to 3.5 liters.
- Rinse the smoked chicken wings, remove the skin. Cut the meat and set it aside. Put the bones into the broth and cook them with the peas.
- When the peas are ready, add the potatoes cut into small cubes. Cook for 30 minutes, reduce the heat, and keep the lid closed.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauté for the soup. Sauté the chopped onion, grated carrot, and pieces of sweet pepper until golden brown. Add the vegetables to the frying pan one at a time, allowing each to brown slightly. Start with the onion, then add the carrot and pepper.
- Cut the pieces of smoked meat into slices and sauté them together with the vegetable mix.
- Remove the chicken bones from the broth with the cooked potatoes. Season the soup with the sauté and smoked ingredients, and cook for 10 minutes. On a cutting board, chop the herbs together with the garlic, sprinkle with salt, and chop with a knife until the juice is released. Add the resulting mixture to the boiling soup and let it boil with the lid open.
- Adjust the boiling dish to taste by adding salt and spices. Let the finished pea soup with smoked wings steep for 10 minutes, then serve in bowls. Place a piece of butter in each serving and garnish with a parsley leaf. Serve garlic croutons or sandwiches with cream cheese on the side.
Enjoy your meal!
