List of ingredients for Ärtsoppa (Swedish pea soup)


* 450 g ( 1 lb) Dried yellow Peas or split-peas
* 2 medium Onions peeled and finely chopped
* 225 g (8 oz) lean Bacon
* ¼ teaspoon Dried Marjoram
* ½ teaspoon Dried thyme
* 1 Bay leaf
* Salt and Freshly ground black pepper to taste (you probably won't need any salt if you are using salty Bacon)
* 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard to serve

===Method===
* Soak the Dried peas for 12 hours (overnight) in plenty lots of cold water. I like to change the water and rinse a few times if I remember.
* In the morning, drain and rinse a few times in cold running water.
* To a large pan, add the chopped onions, drained Peas, 1.5 Litres of cold water (2 litres if you like a thinner Soup), the Bay leaf, the Bacon or Ham-Hocks and bring to the Boil.
* Once Boiling, reduce the heat and Simmer for 30 minutes.
* After 30 minutes, skim any scum from the surface, add the Herbs and Simmer for a further 30 minutes.
* It won't hurt to cook for longer.
* When ready to serve, discard the Bay leaf, cut the Meat into bite sized pieces and add back to the Soup, discard any bones.
* Pour into individual serving bowls, swirl in a teaspoon of wholegrain Mustard and serve.
'''Det är jättegott!'''
