Nutritional values

As the name suggests, hulled peas have had the hard seed coat removed. This eliminates the need for soaking before cooking and makes them easier to digest. At the same time, the legumes have nutrients, including B vitamins, fiber, iron, magnesium, and protein.

If you want it to be really hearty, add poultry sausages, vegetarian sausages or tofu cubes to the yellow pea soup. You can supplement the root vegetables with parsnips as you like, or replace some of them with these.

Preparation steps

1.

Peel and finely dice onion and sauté in 1 tablespoon hot canola oil in a large pot for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Add shelled peas, fill with three times the amount of water and cook over medium heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5 minutes before the end of the cooking time of the peas, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan. Sauté carrots, parsley root and celery in it for 4-5 minutes over high heat.

4.

Add the diced vegetables and leeks to the peas in the pot, pour in the broth, season with marjoram and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are cooked but still have bite.
