Russian winter pea soup recipe

For this recipe I recommend to use dry peas not frozen one. It has different favour and it taste very good with smoked meat.

Ingredients:

2 cups of dry peas

4 cups of water

1 pound of smoked beef (or any meat you like)

1 quart of broth

2-3 bay leaves

3 grains of whole allspice

salt

black pepper

crouton, toast or fried bread

Wash peas in cold water. Soak it overnight, put twice as much water as peas. Boil peas soft (for about 40 minutes) in as much
water as will cover them along with spices and meat. Pass cooked peas and meat through a sieve. Cut meat into small pieces. Put peas and meat in broth and cook on low heat for few minutes (5-7 minutes). Serve with croutons or toasts.

Russia is the land of winter, and perhaps soups.  Let me know if you have another Russian winter pea soup recipe.
