This Finnish pea soup can be made well in advance. You
can double or triple the recipe and freeze it in
useful quantities. Malla Karhusaari also suggests
reducing the cooking time by using a pressure cooker
or microwave to prepare it. Rinse peas and soak in
cold water in large port for 8 hours or overnight.
Bring peas and soaking water to the boil, reduce to a
simmer and cook for one hour or until peas begin to
soften. Add pork and continue to simmer for two to
three hours, until peas and meat ar thoroughly cooked.
When meat is tender, remove it from pot, discard skin
and bone, cut meat in cubes and return to soup. You
may need to add more water to pot for desired
consistency. Season with marjoram, mustard, salt and
pepper. Heat to blend flavors and serve hot.
Serves 6.
