Homemade Pea Soup Made with LOVE

Pea soup…. it’s a typical German dish during winter time. You find it everywhere, many restaurants, stands on the markets and at festivals, people just love pea soup made with sausage.

We had my sweethearts parents over for lunch. And his mother asked for his homemade pea soup. I was curious…

The recipe is from a newspaper, it looks like something like 30 years ago. Simple, complicated and yummy all together. He prepared a big pot so during the week he can bring some to work for dinner. But I guess not too many times as I like the soup also very much.

He made also homemade potato bread to accompany the soup. It looked fantastic and had a smell to die for. I still have to try to ‘translate’ the bread into a paleo version. I will do that soon. It is nearly a ‘must’ for the soup.

Enjoy this hearty soup! Perfect for cold winter weather!

Recipe Notes

Instead of the ham bone you can leave out any kind of meat. Or you can put any kind of sausage.

The soup is best if prepared the day before and can sit overnight.
