Pea soup, also known as snert, is a hearty soup traditionally eaten in the Netherlands during the winter months. It is made from dried peas, vegetables, meat, and herbs, and is a filling and warming meal.
Making pea soup is relatively simple, but it does take some time. Dried peas are usually soaked first and then cooked with vegetables such as leeks, carrots, onions, and celery, and often potatoes as well. Meat can also be added to the soup, such as smoked sausage, bacon, or ham. The soup is seasoned with herbs such as bay leaves, thyme, and pepper.
Pea soup is often served with rye bread and bacon. The rye bread is spread with butter and the bacon is fried until crispy and cut into small pieces. Pea soup is usually served hot and can be an excellent way to warm up on a cold winter day.
Pea soup is not only a delicious and filling meal, but it is also nutritious. Peas are rich in fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals, while the vegetables and herbs in the soup also contain many nutrients. Adding meat to the soup can also contribute to the protein content of the meal.
All in all, pea soup is a delicious, traditional meal that is perfect for the winter months. Not only is it tasty, but it is also nutritious and offers a great way to warm up on cold days.
