Sweden - Yellow pea soup

PREPARATION

Soak the peas in the water overnight.

The next day, cut the bacon into small pieces and sauté in a pan.

Add the vegetables and drain and add the peas. Add the stock and bring to the boil.

Allow the soup to simmer for around 30 minutes, or until the peas are tender.

Stir vigorously with a whisk until the pea pulp thickens the soup. Add salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with thyme (the amount of salt needed will vary depending on the salt content of the beef stock used).
