We suggest making Hearty chicken and pea soup.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (200ml) dried green peas
• 0.5 kg chicken breast
• 1 carrot
• 1 onion
• 2 potatoes
• Salt to taste
• Dried herbs to taste

Instructions:

1. Soak the peas: If using whole dried peas, soak them overnight. If using split peas, soaking is optional.
2. Cook the peas: Rinse the peas and bring them to a boil. Add a pinch of baking soda to help the peas cook faster without turning into mush. Be careful to prevent the foam from overflowing.
3. Add chicken: After 20-25 minutes, add the diced chicken breast and salt to taste.
4. Sauté vegetables and add to soup: Sauté the diced onion and carrot in oil. Add the sautéed vegetables to the soup.
5. Add potatoes: Add diced potatoes to the soup and cook until all vegetables are tender.
6. Serve: Serve hot with sour cream and fresh parsley. Croutons or bread are a great accompaniment.

Enjoy your hearty chicken and pea soup!
