If you have never made pea soup with any smoked meats, you should definitely try it. This soup has a very bright taste and, perhaps, it is even tastier than the traditional one cooked in meat broth. From smoked meats for soup you can take:
- Smoked pork ribs.
- Pork belly.
- Smoked sausage.
- Smoked chicken.
- Hunting sausages (sausages);
- Pork knuckle.
For soups made with ribs, brisket, shanks, or chicken, I usually don’t make a special meat broth. It turns out quite rich and without meat. But it is better (in my opinion) to use sausage and frankfurters as an aromatic and tasty addition to the classic bone broth with meat.
Description of preparation:
This is a simple recipe for making pea and smoked sausage soup.
It is worth noting that first of all you need to prepare the peas. To do this, soak it in cold water for several hours. Then cook the peas and potatoes in salted water, add to them the frying of carrots, onions, smoked sausage and bacon. At the very end, add chopped herbs. For richness, before drinking, you need to leave the soup covered for 10-15 minutes. Good luck!

Pea soup with smoked sausage: quick and tasty
Pea soup is traditionally considered a favorite among both children and adults. It not only occupies a worthy place in the home menu, but is now included in the menu of any catering: from the most seedy canteen to a respectable restaurant. The smokedness gives this hot first course a special taste and aroma. But if using smoked ham or smoked ribs takes some time from the housewife, then regular smoked sausage will help save it. Therefore, the simplest and most affordable dish can confidently be called pea soup with smoked sausage.
Of course, using smoked meat will make the soup not as fatty as a recipe with sausage (after all, any smoked sausage must contain lard or lard). If you care about healthy nutrition for your family, then choose a recipe with bacon or balyk, and the soup will literally become dietary, which means that even preschoolers can be fed with it (saltness and smoked foods are contraindicated for a child’s delicate stomach). Another definite “plus” of sausage soup is the speed of preparation. It will be enough for the sausage to simmer for about 20 minutes, and the wonderful aromatic broth is ready.
To quickly cook pea soup with smoked sausage for about 8 servings, take the following set of products:
- split peas - 200 g (almost a full glass);
- smoked/semi-smoked sausage (bacon or brisket) - 200 grams;
- potatoes - 3 medium tubers;
- carrots - 1 pc.;
- onion - 1 head;
- any vegetable oil (preferably olive or rapeseed) - 3 tbsp. spoons;
- white bread for making croutons or croutons - 200 g;
- butter - 50 g (for making croutons);
- sour cream - optional;
- salt - to taste;
- spices - any;
- any greens that are available.
The choice of products may vary: some prefer the bright yellow color of the soup without greens, some make croutons, and others prefer to dry small crackers so that they crunch while eating. Each housewife has her own special recipe, which allows her dish to stand out among others. After all, it is very pleasant to hear cherished words from friends or relatives that only your soup cannot be compared with a dish from the most expensive restaurant.
Preparing sausage soup will take you 30 minutes (not counting the time it takes for the peas to soak and cook).
- Take shelled (that is, peeled from the pods) peas, clean them of debris and unripe green grains, rinse and leave in cold water for 2 hours. True, practice shows that peas are different from peas. There are raw materials that do not need to be soaked, but just boil for 30 minutes; there are also peas that need to be left to soak overnight. This means that the preparation time for peas is determined experimentally.
- Next, the peas need to be cooked either until half cooked or until a homogeneous mass is obtained. If your household prefers soup with peas, then you should not boil it to a puree. If you are going to feed your family with pureed pea soup, then you should resort to using a blender.
- Place the resulting mass in a saucepan with hot water (about 2 liters) and continue to cook over low heat.
- Wash and peel the potatoes, cut into cubes or strips, place in a pan with the pea mixture and cook for 10 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, peel the onion, chop finely and fry in a frying pan until a delicate golden color appears.
- Peel the carrots, grate them coarsely or cut them into slices, and then add to the onion to stew. Next, put all the contents of the pan into the pan.
- Finally, cut the smoked sausage into strips and also put it in the pan where the soup is being cooked. There is a recipe that also calls for frying sausage. But, as a rule, smoked sausage is already quite fatty, so you can put it in the first course without frying it in a frying pan.
- Let the first dish simmer for another five minutes so that all the salt from the sausage remains in the broth, then you will need to add salt and spices as needed.
- At the same time, cut the bread into small pieces and fry in butter until crispy. You can use a recipe where the bread is cut very finely and dried in the oven. Such croutons in the soup will not get soggy right away, allowing those who like to crunch and enjoy this process to the fullest.
- After turning off the heat under the pan, let the dish steep for a few more minutes, then serve the pea soup with smoked sausage on the table with sour cream, croutons and chopped herbs.
If there is no smoked sausage in the refrigerator, you can get by with regular sausage. In this case, of course, you will have to fry it, preferably until golden brown, so that the soup acquires a richer meat aroma and taste. The tastiest dish may seem to be pea soup with hunting sausages. This recipe is often used by those housewives whose husbands like to drink beer and eat spicy sausages with a pronounced garlic taste. Then the soup will acquire a faint taste of garlic, and this is not an acquired taste. Whatever recipe you prefer, pea soup will always be received with a bang by those at home.

Making pea soup in a slow cooker
In order to cook pea soup with smoked sausage in a slow cooker, the first step is to soak the washed peas in hot water for about an hour. While the peas are taking a hot bath, you need to prepare the vegetables: chop the onion (everyone cuts it in the way that is most convenient, but neat small cubes work best), grate or finely chop the carrots. All this is thrown into a multicooker bowl pre-greased with vegetable oil and set to the “Frying” mode.
While the vegetables are rising, it’s time to chop the smoked sausage and immediately add it to the vegetables (the multicooker lid remains open).
The next step is to peel and cut the potatoes, and then, along with the soaked peas, add them to the bowl and cover with water. There should be quite a lot of water: about four-fifths of the volume of the entire bowl. Now – add salt, pepper, add other spices to taste (but not dried herbs!) and, closing the multicooker lid, select the “Stew” mode and the time period of one hour, and then press “Start”.
The slow cooker timer will count down the minutes remaining until the soup is ready, and when there are 15 minutes left until it is ready, you can open the lid and add the herbs (whether dried or not). When the beep sounds, the multicooker will automatically switch to warming mode - and the soup will remain hot until you decide it’s time to have lunch.
Although you are unlikely to wait, because there is nothing tastier than fresh, aromatic pea soup with smoked sausage.
