👨‍🍳 Instructies

1
Rinse the dried split peas thoroughly under cold running water. Place them in a large bowl and cover with plenty of cold water. Let them soak overnight (at least 8 hours).
⏱️ Overnight (8+ hours)
2
Drain the soaked peas and rinse them again. Place the drained peas in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Add the cubed smoked bacon and 2 liters of water (or broth). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently.
⏱️ 1 hour 30 minutes
3
Add the diced potatoes and carrots to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, until the vegetables are tender and the peas have broken down further, creating a thick, soup-like consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
⏱️ 30 minutes
4
Stir in the dried marjoram. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The soup should be very thick, almost stew-like.
⏱️ 5-10 minutes
5
Ladle the hot Grochówka into bowls. Serve immediately. It is traditionally served very thick.

💡 Pro Tips

✓This soup is a staple of Polish military field rations, known for its hearty and filling nature.
✓The desired consistency for authentic Grochówka is very thick, almost like a stew. Adjust liquid as needed.
✓For an even richer flavor, let the soup rest overnight in the refrigerator and reheat it the next day. The flavors will meld beautifully.

Inspiratie voor uw eigen versie van dit recept

Add diced kielbasa (Polish sausage) along with the bacon for an extra layer of smoky flavor.
For a smoother texture, you can partially blend the soup using an immersion blender after the vegetables are cooked, before adding the marjoram. Be careful not to over-blend if you prefer some texture.
