Children's pea soup

Classic light pea soup with water, potatoes, onions and carrots with olives. Many will find this combination strange, but in fact the taste of olives in the soup is quite neutral. But the benefits of olives definitely cannot be denied. After all, they have a beneficial effect on the digestive system. Can children eat olives? Of course, you need to be careful when feeding babies. But this product will definitely be useful for children over 7 years old and teenagers!

Children's pea soup - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute frozen peas. Skip the soaking step and add them later since they cook faster—about 10-15 minutes before the soup is done.
Blend a portion of the soup (without olives) before adding the sautéed veggies for a creamy texture. Alternatively, stir in a splash of coconut milk at the end.
Store it in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water to thin if needed.
Yes! Freeze without garnishes (like dill or olives) for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove.
Skip the olives if your child dislikes them, or blend the soup smooth for picky eaters. Add a fun toast or cheese croutons on top.
Yes, as written, it’s vegetarian and vegan (ensure the vegetable oil is used). For extra flavor, use vegetable broth instead of water.
Absolutely! Cook diced bacon or ham with the onions for a smoky flavor, or stir in cooked sausage at the end for extra protein.
Skimming removes impurities and starch, resulting in a clearer, smoother broth. It’s optional but improves texture.
Serve with crusty bread, a simple green salad, or grilled cheese sandwiches for a comforting meal.
