Directions Finnish Pea Soup in a Slow Cooker
Directions
-
Place peas in a large pot and cover with water. Let soak, 8 hours to overnight.
Place pot with peas and soaking water on high heat and bring to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes, and remove any foam that forms. Drain and set peas aside.
Fry pork in a skillet over medium heat until slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine 6 cups water and chicken bouillon cube in a pot. Bring water to a boil to dissolve the bouillon cube.
Add peas, cooked pork, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, smoked salt, parsley, thyme, black pepper, marjoram, and bay leaf to a slow cooker. Pour bouillon in last.
Cook on Low for 7 hours, then on High for 2 hours more. Serve with mustard alongside.
