Of course, the chefs do not soak the peas every evening to make fresh soup for the visitors every morning.
The cooks use another trick, thanks to which the peas boil almost completely after 5 minutes of cooking.
Toss the peas into the boiling broth and cook the soup for 10-15 minutes.
Pour half a teaspoon of baking soda into 2 liters of water in a saucepan.
Pea mass after 5 minutes will be very good consistency.
In the soup, the taste of soda will not be felt, but the peas will soften, they will not be hard, but they will not boil to the state of porridge.
In the same way, you can cook lentils, beans and any legumes.
