Authentic Snert (Dutch Split Pea Soup) Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup split green peas (dried, rinsed)
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 2 stalks celery (chopped)
  • 2 carrots medium (diced)
  • 1 medium potato (peeled and diced)
  • 1 cup smoked sausage (sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare Peas

    In a large pot, combine the split peas and water.

    Rinse peas thoroughly before adding to pot.
  2. Add Vegetables

    Add onion, celery, carrots, and potato to the pot.

    Chop vegetables uniformly for even cooking.
  3. Season the Soup

    Stir in the smoked sausage, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.

    Use smoked sausage for an authentic flavor.
  4. Cook the Soup

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1.5 hours.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Check Peas

    Ensure that the peas are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.

    Add more water if soup is too thick.

    Remove bay leaf, adjust seasoning, and serve hot.

    Garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor.
