Ingredients

Step cooking

1. The night before, before preparing the soup, peas (200 g) are well washed under running water, poured with water and left to swell overnight. So it will cook much faster.
   
2. We clean and wash three onions, one large carrot and 4-5 medium potatoes.
   
3. Pour about 2.5 liters of water into the pan. We send one onion there. It is better to leave a tail at the bulb so that it does not boil. Half of the carrots are cut into circles and sent to the pan. Add 3-4 pcs. bay leaf and 4-6 peas of black pepper. We put the pan on the stove and cook the vegetables for 30 minutes over medium heat.
   
4. Three remaining carrots on a coarse grater. Pour 100 ml of sunflower oil into a heated pan and spread the carrots on it for frying. Fry the carrots for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, constantly stirring with a spatula. Three medium onions cut into cubes. When the carrots are gilded on both sides, put the chopped onion in a frying pan and fry it for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
   
5. The onion should change color, become transparent, but should not be completely fried. To make the soup thicker, you need to fry the flour. We take 2 tbsp. l flour and pour it into a clean, dry, heated skillet. Constantly stirring with a spatula, fry it until golden brown. After one minute, when the flour gets a nice beige hue, turn off the pan and wait until the flour has cooled.
   
6. While our vegetable stock is cooked, cut the potatoes into cubes. It is better for soup to choose those varieties of potatoes that are quickly boiled. Such potatoes are tastier in the soup, and it takes less time to cook. It took 0.5 hours. Vegetable broth boiled. Open the lid of the pan and add 2 tablespoons of salt and diced potatoes. Cook it for 15 minutes over medium heat.
   
7. After 15 minutes, it was time for peas. We send all the peas to the vegetable broth. Since he insisted in water all night, then half an hour would be enough for him to cook.
   
8. Since we will serve pea soup with crackers, we need to cook them. Dice white toast bread.
   
9. We preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. We line the baking sheet with foil and evenly distribute slices of chopped bread on it. Sent in the oven for 5-7 minutes. Half an hour has passed since we laid peas. We take the fried flour and send it in portions to the pea soup, stirring gradually so that the flour does not come in lumps. It should boil for 5 minutes.
10. And immediately the soup will become a beautiful beige hue. The finishing touch is frying. Transfer the frying to a pan with pea soup and simmer for 5 minutes on low heat.
    
11. Optionally, add 1-2 cloves of garlic. Finely chop the parsley. Serve the soup in portioned dishes, sprinkled with herbs. Serve crackers in a separate bowl.
