Firstly, it is very tasty, even lean, secondly, it is very satisfying, and thirdly, it is low-calorie, of course, if you do not put fatty pork or smoked sausage in it.
Well, let's start by tradition with the most traditional and simple recipe.
Quite simple and no less tasty, the name speaks for itself. It is also suitable for those who are on a diet. We will prepare the soup with spices in order to make the soup taste excellent. But you can not add spices at all: only roast and greens. The soup will still be delicious.
We will need:
- Dry peas - 400 g;
- Potatoes - 3 pcs. small potatoes;
- Onions - 2 small heads;
- Carrots - 1 medium;
- Parsley - 40-50 g;
- Dill - 40-50 g;
- Garlic - 1/2 head;
- Salt, vegetable oil, Bay leaf, hot red pepper;
- Spices: dry purple basil leaves, savory (can be replaced with thyme, marjoram).
We wash the peas several times cold water. Put in a saucepan. Pour water into the pan, not reaching the rim a couple of centimeters. It is necessary to leave a place so that when the soup boils, it does not splash out. Be sure to stir the peas, they may stick to the bottom. Cook over medium heat without closing the lid.
We clean and wash vegetables. Scroll the onion in a blender for small pieces, not mashed. You can finely chop with a knife.
We grate the carrots, but if you like, you can also cut with a knife, or cubes, or circles.
We clean the greens from large hard stems and cut them into small pieces.
The foam must be removed and also removed during the cooking process every time it appears. Remove the foam before the start of a strong boil. When the soup comes to a boil, reduce the heat to below medium. If only the soup would boil slowly.
We are waiting for the peas to cook. Exact time it's hard to say, because it depends on many factors, including the pea itself. Approximately, after 30 minutes, start trying. Peas should become soft.
So, the peas boiled with us, remove the foam, salt, close the lid, always with a hole or do not cover tightly so that the steam comes out. Reduce the fire and leave to cook.
After 10-15 minutes, we try peas, if it is cooked, add diced potatoes. Close the lid and cook until the potatoes are tender.
Peas are cooked - add potatoes Pour about half a centimeter of vegetable oil into the pan, let it warm up and spread the onion. Fry the onion until golden brown.
Step 9
When the onion is ready, spread the carrots to it. We laid out the carrots, salt a little so that the carrots give juice. We set the fire below medium if the pan has a thin bottom and on medium if it is thick. Fry well, on average 4-5 minutes. Saute until the carrots are as soft as you like.
We check the potatoes, they are almost ready. We put our frying in the soup. Let it simmer for a couple more minutes and add spices.
We squeeze all the garlic into a separate cup, grind the leaves of dry basil with our hands into a powder so that it is as fine as possible, while on a separate saucer. If there are no leaves, add basil powder. But of course the leaves give a special flavor.
We send all the spices to the soup. Pour out the basil, put a leaf or two of lavrushka, if you like it spicy, crush the hot pepper directly in bunches if dried or finely chop if raw. Wash your hands immediately, otherwise you may accidentally wipe your eyes and then you will cry for a long time.
Add savory or marjoram or thyme at the tip of a knife. Put out the garlic.
Reduce the heat, taste the soup for salt and pepper. The last thing we add is the greens. Leave some greenery for decoration. We interfere. We cover with a lid. We turn off the fire. After 5-10 minutes you can serve.
That's all, the soup is ready, lean, but very tasty. Bon appetit!

There are many varieties of peas, but all of them can be divided into 3 types - brain (sweet) varieties, sugar (manzhtu, translated from French as “eat whole”), and shelling.
