- Water - 3 liters.
- Half a soup chicken.
- Peas (I have chopped) - 2 cups.
- Onion - 2 pcs.

- Bay leaf - 3 pcs.
- Vegetable oil - for frying.

Rinse the peas thoroughly to clean water and preferably soak before preparing the soup. Pre-soaking legumes reduces gas formation when they are consumed.
Pour half a chicken carcass and peas with water and put to boil. While boiling, remove the foam from the broth. It has been experimentally observed that if you pour boiling water over meat (not only chicken) and peas, there will be much less foam when cooking pea soup.
Split peas cook much faster than regular peas. We cook it for 30 - 40 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare a roast for pea soup with onion and carrot chicken. Salt to taste.

Step by step cooking recipe
- 1 Now experienced mothers will teach the young how to cook a delicious and simple pea soup with chicken correctly so that it turns out to be soup, not porridge. Separately, it is necessary to resolve the issue with peas. Which one do you have - crushed, whole or half? If it’s whole, then we’ll start preparing the soup in the evening, you need to pour the peas into a saucepan and pour it with clean water so that it becomes softer overnight, otherwise it won’t boil at all, and the cooking time will be much faster. In principle, you can do the same with half peas, it will not get worse. But with crushed, you can immediately proceed to the cooking process - without soaking.2 So, put the peas filled with water on the stove to cook over medium heat. The secret of soft and at the same time not boiled peas in ordinary baking soda. Put and pour a little soda into the peas, about 0.5 teaspoon. Cook the peas for about 15-25 minutes until they are ready. Then we remove it from the stove and if the peas were whole, then with a crush (which we crush the mashed potatoes) slightly mash the peas, just do not overdo it so that porridge does not turn out. And here you can also add one clove of garlic, passed through a garlic press, mix immediately. You can do without garlic at all, as you like. 3 Pour clean water into a 3-liter saucepan and put the chicken meat, salt and set to cook until tender. 4 When the chicken meat is completely ready, send our prepared peas to the pan and let it boil. 5 Separately peel onion and cut it into small cubes.6 Next, peel the carrots and rub on a coarse grater.7 In a heated pan in a small amount vegetable oil we pass the onions with carrots and send them to the pan to the chicken with peas. 8 Then we clean and cut into medium-sized cubes or bars raw potatoes, which, 5 minutes after frying, we send everything to the same pan. 9 Bring the soup to a boil and let it “boil” slightly over medium heat for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are fully cooked and the peas are “lightly boiled”. Then add a couple of bay leaves, lightly sprinkle with freshly ground pepper and any other spices to taste. Turn off the stove, cover the pan with a lid and let the soup "enrich itself."

Yes, however, and men will not be able to refuse dinner or lunch. The soup turns out to be moderately thick and boiled, the aroma will pleasantly please you.
Secrets and nuances of cooking soup
- According to the indicated recipe, you can cook soup not only from chicken, it is perfect: turkey or other poultry meat (any part will do, you can even wings), beef, pork, lamb, and the same knuckle. The ribs are especially good - they give a unique fat to the broth.
- Peas go very well with smoked meats, bacon or sausage, and the soup also turns out delicious, but we will talk about this using the example of mashed soup or pea porridge.
- Similarly, you can cook lean or vegetarian pea soup, just remove the meat and broth, cook in plain water.
- You can cook exactly the same soup with mushrooms, champignons are best.
- But it is better for a nursing mother to refuse, albeit from a tasty and seemingly healthy, pea soup. The reason is simple, legumes such as beans and peas contain a specific protein that is not absorbed into the body, but decomposes in the intestines, causing gas formation. Thus, in a child breastfeeding, after mom eats pea soup, even homemade, bloating is possible.

Cooking pea soup with chicken
Split peas will boil much faster than taking whole kernels. Therefore, it is best to use split peas. In order for pea soup with chicken to cook faster, it is advisable to sort the peas well, wash and soak in cold water for a few hours. This will reduce the cooking time to 40 minutes, so we prepare pea soup with chicken about an hour before the expected dinner.
To get three liters of soup, it is enough to take one glass of cereal.
Since the main ingredients - peas and chicken are cooked longer than the others, they can be set to cook at the same time.
Cut the chicken fillet into small pieces - about 3x3 cm.
Prepared - pre-soaked peas, pour cold water, add chicken pieces and put on medium heat.
Since the water will gradually boil away, keep a close eye on the soup and add water to the pot if necessary.
Chicken Pea Soup takes about 35-40 minutes to make, so you have plenty of time to prep the vegetables.
The soup should be simmered, as foam will appear, which will need to be removed, otherwise it will run away.
While the peas and meat will be cooked over medium heat, it will be necessary to peel the potatoes, onions and carrots.
Onions should be cut into medium cubes, fresh carrots are best grated on a coarse grater.
In a small amount of vegetable oil, fry the onion and carrots until golden brown and add to the pot where the soup is being prepared.
Potatoes can be cut into thin slices, but it will be tastier to cut them into medium cubes.
About twenty minutes after the broth boils, add the prepared potatoes.
Salt and allspice can be added to the soup after the potatoes have been added to it.
We leave the soup to cook on low heat - do not cover the pan with a lid.
Fresh parsley must be washed well in running water, if it is limp, soak it for several minutes in cold water.
Cut the greens as small as possible and divide into approximately two equal parts.

Dear readers!
Usually pea soup is cooked on the basis of dried, and not fresh peas. It is very nutritious and has a special taste. It is prepared with whole peas or crushed. If you are cooking with whole peas, soak them for a couple of hours.
Today I propose to cook pea soup with chicken. Pea soup can be cooked with any meat, with smoked ribs, with sausage, and in fast days it can be cooked without meat. Either way, the soup is excellent.
INGREDIENTS:
- 200 g peas (dry, half)
- 200-300 g chicken

- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- spices for soups

How to cook pea soup with chicken?
COOKING:
We wash the peas and fill them with cold water.
We cut the chicken into small pieces, wash it, put it in a saucepan and fill it with water. When the chicken boils, remove the resulting foam.
We drain the water from the peas, add it to the pan, mix well, otherwise it sticks to the bottom of the pan. Cook for 25-30 minutes. I like that the peas are not completely boiled. If you want it to be mashed, boil a little longer. Do not miss when the peas boil, the soup can run away, as a large hat of foam forms.
We clean the potatoes, wash, cut, add to the pan and cook for 15-20 minutes.
Peel the onion, wash and finely chop.
We clean the carrots, wash them and three on a coarse grater.
Fry the onion until golden brown, add the carrots, fry for 5 minutes and put in a saucepan a couple of minutes before the end of cooking. When I’m lazy, I don’t fry, I put carrots and onions raw, it also turns out delicious.
Oh, I almost forgot. Be sure to add the garlic, peel it, wash it and squeeze it through the garlic or finely chop it. Without it, the soup will not be as fragrant and tasty.
Salt and add spices to taste. You can add greens. Everything boiled, you can turn off the stove, the soup is ready.
Greens can be added just before serving.
This is one of my favorite soups. Now I am writing a recipe for you and preparing it. The aroma is in the whole kitchen. Everything, I went to eat, otherwise the saliva flows. Make this soup, it will be delicious.
Cook and enjoy. Bon appetit!
Interesting recipes for you.
