Ukrainian Split Pea Soup
This Ukrainian Split Pea Soup is a delicious combination of tender split peas, smoked beef bone, and vegetables. It is packed full of flavor and is a hearty and filling soup to have after a long walk on the beach or in the woods!
Start by sauteing onion, carrots, and celery in oil, stirring occasionally. Add bones/meat (if using), water, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Bring the soup to a boil and skim any foam from the top using a mesh strainer. Add the split peas and salt. Bring the soup to a boil before reducing to low and cooking until the peas are soft and partially broken down. Season the soup with pepper. Serve hot, garnished with green onion, dill, or parsley.
