Directions

  1. The day before, soak the split peas (optional, but they cook more evenly).
  2. Place the peas in a saucepan with the water, thyme, and onion, bring to a boil, and then simmer, covered, for 45 minutes.
  3. Add one or two pieces of meat to the soup and cook the remaining ingredients separately in water for about 30 minutes.
  4. If the peas are still hard, blend them in a food processor until smooth, removing the onion. ≈ 4 min
  5. Peel the swede, the turnips, and the carrots, chop them into pieces, and cook them with the meat or in the soup for 20 to 30 minutes.
  6. Taste: If all the meat has cooked in the soup, it will be salty and will need pepper; otherwise, season it. Serve the soup with the meat and vegetables. ≈ 2 min
