About this recipe
Vegetable grochówka is a filling soup made with vegetable broth, split peas, carrots, potatoes, and onion. As the peas cook, they naturally thicken the soup and give it a hearty, homemade texture. The potatoes make it more filling, the carrots add gentle sweetness, and the onion builds a simple savory base. It is a substantial meatless soup made from basic ingredients.
Ingredients
250 g split peas
2 carrots
2 potatoes
1 onion
1.5 L vegetable broth
Steps
Rinse the split peas in a sieve, dice the potatoes and carrots, and chop the onion for the soup base.
Heat the onion for 4 minutes in about 50 ml of the 1.5 L broth, until softened.
Add the peas, pour in the remaining broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 35–45 minutes. Stir regularly along the bottom, especially as the peas start breaking down and thickening the liquid, to prevent sticking.
Add the carrots and potatoes and cook for another 15–20 minutes, still stirring along the bottom. The potatoes should pierce easily with a fork and the peas should have no hard centers. Take the pot off the heat and leave for 5 minutes to thicken slightly, then divide into six portions.
