Sopa de Chícharos Como Debe Ser (página 2 de 2)Home >> Recetas
Página: 1 2 Página precedente
Detente un minuto para asomarte a la olla y observar el hermoso color y textura de tu montecito de chícharos.
Agrega la cebolla y el jamón. Puede ser que tengas que separar el jamón en la unión de la rodilla para que quepa en la olla. Pero asegúrate de no quebrar ningún hueso ya que el tuétano puede estar rancio y dar un mal sabor a la sopa. Toma una cantidad razonable de hierbas y átalas por sus tallos con hilo de cocina que amarrarás al asa de la olla para retirarlo cómodamente más adelante.
Agrega más agua hasta que todo esté nadando. Déjalo a fuego medio para que la sopa tome un rato largo en comenzar a hervir. Esto es necesario para poder quitar la espuma de proteínas que sale del jamón. Una vez removida toda la espuma, dale un hervor y baja el fuego al mínimo y cuece al menos 2 horas, pero puede ser hasta 24 horas. Si eliges un cocido largo, la puedes meter a un horno a 80ªC y programarlo para parar en un par de horas.
Saca las hierbas y la cebolla...
... luego el hueso de la pata ...
... y finalmente el fémur.
Coloca la cebolla a un lado así como el fémur si aún le queda algo de carne.
Me dicen que a los niños les encantra la sopa de chícharos - ciertamente a mí me encantaba en esos tiempos, pero no con grandes pedazos flotando en el agua.
Usa una licuadora de mano (varita mágica), para convertir tu sopa en una sopa de chícharo como debe ser.
No recomendaría añadir mucha sal si hierves carne en la sopa, ya que hay mucha más sal de la que se ve en la mayoría de las carnes preservadas. Sólo checa la sazón y corrige con sal y pimienta antes de licuar la sopa una última vez. Pica algunas hierbas frescas y mézclalas.
Ya estuvo. Los chícharos molidos han absorvido el líquido restante y todo lo que ahora se ve es un cocido color miel digno de los Dioses. Pruébala - increíble ¿No? El delicado sabor ahumado y a puerco que te deja en la boca mezclado con el ajo y las hierbas. Pruébala de nuevo. Te empiezas a preguntar si no es la mejor sopa del mundo.
Puedes rebanar el jamón ...
... y servirlo en la sopa.
O picarlo y mezclarlo con la sopa.

Oh wow. That looks delicious.I know you said you haven't been trained as a cook, so are you following recipes, or are you just naturally abled? I ask because it seems you could open your own restaurant and no doubt be very successful!

my mother makes this every year from our thanksgiving and christmas ham. She got it from her grandmother who was from Poland. I've never been a fan of pea soup but I might try some this year.- #4

I love pea soup, and this looks like a much enhanced version of the one we make. Hard to find a ham like that, but I am thinking it might be worth the effort.- #5
- Comment by Alys
A fine Swiss dish. :-)My Canadian version uses a smoked pork hock when ham is not available and no potatoes or celeriac.

- Comment by Kate
Ahhhhh, lovely! The recipe is almost the way it's "traditionally" made in the Canadian Maritimes, though you'd more often see pickled or salted pork hocks used in place of a ham bone and turnip instead of celeriac.- #7

Split Pea Soup was something my dad taught my mother to make and then she taught me. Definitely one of my favorite comfort foods. Yours looks really, really good and makes we want some now even though it's 85F degrees out today!- #8
- Comment by Martin
FYI, the "herbe à maggi" is lovage, which a friend describes as "celery on steroids". It's hard to find in stores (in North America, anyway) but is easy to grow and quite a handsome, architectural plant. Celery leaves make an OK, if rather wimpy, substitute.- #9

I would like to point out that this dish is served every at all lunch-restaurants every thursday alongside with pancakes all year around here in Sweden.Do i need to say that this is a very popular dish here?
Good job.

Hi, I have found your blog quite recently and loved it. Pea soup is what my husband loves most when it comes to soups. It is a very popular dish here in Poland and best is either when you cook it at home or get at some road-side "restaurants" where it is usually poured out of big pots, with lots of good bread and dripping. And I love its vegetarian variant as well, described in one of my Jewish cooking books. Thanks for your great work!- #11

Hi Francois,Nice recipe, but as you say it's hard to find good pork. In the stone farmhouse we almost bought above Bolzano, one room had been devoted to hanging the hams for about a century--it was black with soot and really stank. There was no loo in the house, but there was the smoking room! I believe the soaking gets rid of stachyose and raffinose, water-soluble complex sugars that cause discomfort...

This is a very popular winter dish in Denmark. We call it “gule ærter” which simply means yellow peas. Some people put vinegar in theirs but I can’t recommend it. It’s a very traditional soup and I absolutely love it!My dad is very particular about his soup (might be because he’s a chef). He belongs to a type of “guild” that meets in the wither to have “gule ærter”. I believe it’s nationwide.
Anyway, looks delicious!

Clayton, thanks for visiting and hope you get to make this soup at home yourself!- #16

Dave, thanks for your kind words! Well, this one I saw my daddy make and there are many recipes out there, but yes nowadays I get a sense of how to cook things without a recipe, did three dishes like this over the weekend with good results. But to be successful in a restaurant the secret, I think, is not just to make good food but to do so consistently at a profit - a tall order!- #17
- Answered by fx
JD good luck if you do this soup, let me know if there is any Polish twist to this soup.- #18
- Answered by fx
Techsamaritan, if you can't find the ham you might try with a piece of smoked bacon perhaps. Good luck!- #19
- Answered by fx
Alys, hock is ideal for this, ham is just a plus. I think the potatoes are a nice way to add some flesh to the soup!- #20
- Answered by fx
Kate, indeed pork hocks and turnip do work equally well for this fine soup!- #21
- Answered by fx
Fran, have you ever thought of trying the peasoup cold? I think it would work just fine and would then make a nice summer dish. But with the summer we're having so far this year it is just what we needed!- #22

Martin thanks for letting me the name of this extraordinary plant, much welcome in any garden and a staple of the vegetable soups at FXcuisine.com- #23

Andreas, thaks for visiting! Would you know what ingredients are included in the traditional Swedish Pea Soup?- #24

Agnieszka, thanks for visiting! What are the typical ingredients used in Polish Pea Soups?- #25
- Answered by fx
Beatrice, glad to see you back! Ah that farm above Bolzano, you seem to think about it every day! I'm sure that their smoked meats would have made one terrific pea soup.- #26

Julie, thanks for visiting! Do you know if there are any typical ingredients in Danish Pea Soup?- #27
- Answered by fx
Lotsofcravings, pea soup is made with yellow split peas, the dried kind. Green peas serve to make green peas creams, I just made one today for lunch!- #28

Susan, there are so many dishes you can cook with a ham bone, it's a great investment!- #29
- Comment by Michael
Nail the bay leaves into the onion? What do you use for the nails?- #30
- Answered by fx
Michael, if you look at the picture you'll see that cloves are used to nail the bay leaves to the onion - that's a most common trick to try and keep the bay leave in sight to be able to remove them later before puréeing.- #31
- Comment by Saxit
The Swedish variant is very similar to your recipe minus garlic and some herbs. We also don't keep the vegetables in the soup or mix it smooth. Oh, and we serve it with a lot of mustard.- #32

Great pictures and desription of recipe.- #33
- Comment by Allen
The soup looks amazing and I agree that a ham bone is a wonderful investment. I grew up on bean soup, typically made with small white beans and slow-cooked with a ham bone. Heavenly!- #34

Allen I just made pasta con i fagioli with air-dried alpine bacon yesterday, extraordinary!- #35
- Comment by Cameron Williams
Our recipes are similar. I use russian smoked pork ribs because they're more easily available here, they're very similar in taste, and easier to fit in the pot, and no potatoes. I also crush the garlic (about 12 cloves, or an entire head), and never let it reach a boil—simmer for about 4 to 5 hours at 190 degrees Fahrenheit—the garlic and peas dissolve without mashing. I use the quick-soak method instead of overnight soaking; for some reason it seems to work better, and substitute rich home-made chicken stock for half the water. My favorite soup.Next time, I'll try it your way, though.

I love you eye for photography and the pea soup looks delish-i will use that reciepe next time I make it. I was wondering if I may paint it in watercolor for a charity soup event i am involved in. Thanks !- #38

Judi, go right ahead with your watercolor, but if you could kindly scan it so that I can include it in the article I'd very much like to. Good luck!- #39
- Comment by Bill Colohan
I cook pea soup a fair amount. Sometimes it turns out great, other times the peas don't break down so the soup is not pureed or smooth. Why is this?- #41
- Comment by Geoff Ball
Here in Winnipeg Canada the local francophone population celebrate this every chance they get.You will see this at every Festival or celebration it seems.
I differed from you as a child, I never did care for the texture of the soup. As an adult it has grown on me, especially when it gets cold out.

Never mind the soup (which, btw, I'll try it tomorrow), but you are a such a delightful person. Your writing is full of wit.Thank you!
Sincerely,

PS: I-ll send you a notice about MY peas soup asap. I already have an extraordinary piece of organic smoked ham (pork, of course). Not to mention the finest peas and my homegrown greens!

Todo un verdadero arte tu sopa, me quedé maravillada de cada uno de los pasos en su preparacion, realmente suculento, felicidades.- #45
- Comment by Omí Wale
.I learned from my mother.... mostly we use yellow split pea, but sometimes we love the green. The sad part is when you get a package that contains some super-hard beans; no matter how long you cook them, they are horrible. I wouldn´t blend them because they taste ugly. Generally you get 100% good grains and then you feast.
like my mom, on purpose we leave a handful that is put in the pot later.... those will be well done but you can see them.
We use salted pig tails.
Congratulations on a splendid recipe. You have charm to explain.
Love,
Omí Wale

I often make this soup but not with as many ingredients as you. My father was Greek and he would make it with even less ingredients and serve with vinegar and olive oil either hot or cold. I think it is a favorite with all races as my scottish mother made it as well. I would agree that it is the most comforting and delicious of all the soups.- #47
