SWEDISH YELLOW PEA SOUP

Provided by Suzanne Hamlin

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, appetizer, main course

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound dried, whole or split yellow peas (see note)
1 large onion, chopped, 1 1/2 to 2 cups
1 pound fresh bacon, in one piece
1 bunch fresh marjoram or thyme
Hot and sweet or hot mustard, to taste
Fine sea salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse the peas in a colander under cool running water. Put them in a large, nonreactive bowl and cover with water by 2 inches. Let soak uncovered in a cool place overnight.
  • Put the peas and soaking water into a heavy 6-to-8-quart pot. Add water to cover again by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and let boil two minutes. Skim off and discard any foam and skins that rise to the top.
  • Stir in the chopped onion. Cut the piece of bacon crosswise into two pieces, and add to the pot with 3 tablespoons fresh marjoram or thyme leaves, stripped of stems and chopped.
  • Let the soup boil gently for 40 to 90 minutes until it becomes very thick and buttery yellow. Whole peas will take longer and will be soft but still whole when cooked. Split peas will take a shorter time to cook and will almost disintegrate. If the soup becomes too thick, add more water.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Remove the two pieces of bacon, and cut off and discard the rind. Cut the bacon crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Reserve.
  • Stir the soup well, and season with 2 to 4 tablespoons mustard. Add salt, if necessary, and black pepper. Add more fresh thyme or marjoram if desired.
  • Serve with soup in shallow bowls with slices of bacon on the side. Pass additional mustard to stir into the soup. In Sweden, this soup, called artsoppa, is served with crisp rye bread covered with grated vasterbottem, a sharp, hard cheese. Aged cheddar and Parmigiano Reggiano are good substitutes.

Creamy yellow pea soup studded with bits of ham, carrots, celery, and thyme. There is nothing like this one on a cold day! I am a Canadian now living in the US. and cannot get Habitant® soup anymore, so I came up with this version. I think it is as good as the real thing, if not better, because it is homemade.

Tips:

  • Soak the peas overnight: Soaking the peas overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the peas overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them in water for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables such as potatoes, turnips, or parsnips.
  • Don't overcook the peas: Split peas cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked peas will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: This recipe is a good starting point, but you may want to adjust the seasonings to your own taste. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers: Yellow split pea soup is a hearty and filling soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. Serve it with a side of bread or crackers for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Yellow split pea soup is a delicious and nutritious soup that is easy to make. It is a great way to use up leftover split peas, and it is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. This soup is perfect for a cold winter day, and it can also be served as a light lunch or dinner. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this soup is sure to become a family favorite.
