Pea soup is a hearty and comforting dish traditionally made from dried split peas, fresh peas, or a combination of both. Often associated with Scandinavian, Dutch, and British cuisines, this classic soup has variations across the globe, showcasing its versatile appeal. Typical ingredients include peas, onions, carrots, celery, herbs, and sometimes ham or bacon for added flavor. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber, pea soup supports digestion and helps maintain steady energy levels. It’s an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals like iron and potassium. While the base is undeniably nutritious, additions like heavy cream or fatty meats can increase its calorie and fat content. For a healthier option, opt for a vegetable-based version and limit high-sodium broths or cured meat. Easy to customize, pea soup is a satisfying choice for health-conscious meals or comforting indulgence.
