Classic Swedish yellow pea soup with salted pork

How to make it

1. 1

   Rinse the pre-soaked yellow peas thoroughly.

2. 2

   Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel the carrots and cut them into rounds.

3. 3

   Dice the pork belly, or keep it in one piece to dice later.

4. 4

   Put the peas, onion, carrots, pork, stock cubes, thyme and marjoram in a large saucepan. Pour over about 1.2 litres of water so everything is well covered.

5. 5

   Bring to the boil and skim off the white foam that forms on the surface with a spoon.

6. 6

   Lower the heat and simmer the soup, covered, for about 45-50 minutes until the peas are soft and have split.

7. 7

   If the pork was cooked whole, lift it out, dice it and stir it back into the soup.

8. 8

   Season the soup with Skåne mustard, salt and freshly ground black pepper before serving.
