This is the most fun thick winter soup. If meat is involved then the celebration just got bigger! So here is a great recipe for pea soup with beef “kabanos” to warm you during the difficult days of winter. Although we make use of dry peas in this recipe, there is no need to soak it before cooking - just rinse it well. Please note that the duration of the preparation of the soup is very long, so take pre-assigned time ahead of time!- and in any case this is a very simple recipe to make and most of the time, the pot is spent on the fire and you under the covers...
