Pea Soup
Blend once. Freeze eight bowls of soup.

Ingredients
- 3 l water
- 400 g split peas
- 300 g potatoes
- 150 g leek
- 200 g carrots
- 2 cloves garlic
- 30 g butter
- vegetable oil
- 20 g celery
- 50 g sour cream 33%
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 3 g marjoram
Method
- Soak the peas in cold water for at least 10–12 hours; it is convenient to do this the night before. Drain and rinse away excess starch.
- Finely chop the onion (leek), carrots, and celery. Garlic should also be finely chopped or pressed through a garlic press.
- Sauté the vegetables in butter and vegetable oil until soft, without browning. Add the garlic and cook for another minute on low heat. Then add the cream and let it reduce for a minute.
- Bring water to a boil, add the peas, and cook for about 1/2 the time indicated on the package. Then add the carrots and onion, and cook for another 20 minutes on low heat after boiling.
- Add the sautéed mix with cream to the pot. Remove from heat. Blend with an immersion blender or transfer to a blender. Purée the mixture. The middle option is to mash with a potato masher. Season with salt, pepper, and marjoram to taste. Heat through. The soup is ready.
- The blended soup can be frozen in portions: cool completely, pour into freezer bags or containers and freeze. To serve, thaw and reheat — add fresh herbs or marjoram.
