Swedish Pea Soup (Artsoppa) image

A traditional Swedish dish. Very easy to prepare. The consistency of the peas is up to everyone. I like them al dente in the broth, while some like them so soft that the soup becomes more like a porridge. In Sweden this is traditionally served with warm Punsch (a sweet beverage with arrack). The soup could of course be made vegetarian. Substitute vegetable bouillon cubes for the meat.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too thick. I had to add some water to thin it out.

This soup is a bit bland. I had to add some salt and pepper to taste.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup.

This soup is a fantastic way to warm up on a cold day. The flavors are rich and complex, and the peas are cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again and again.
