Swedish Pea Soup (Artsoppa) image

A traditional Swedish dish. Very easy to prepare. The consistency of the peas is up to everyone. I like them al dente in the broth, while some like them so soft that the soup becomes more like a porridge. In Sweden this is traditionally served with warm Punsch (a sweet beverage with arrack). The soup could of course be made vegetarian. Substitute vegetable bouillon cubes for the meat.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added a little bit of curry powder and some chopped carrots and celery.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I added a cup of diced ham to the soup and it was delicious.

I've been making this soup for years and it's always a hit. My family loves it and it's so easy to make. I usually add a little bit of smoked sausage to it for extra flavor.

This Swedish pea soup recipe is a winner! It's hearty, flavorful, and so easy to make. I love that it's a one-pot dish, so cleanup is a breeze. I served it with some crusty bread and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.
