Yes, you can substitute canned peas, but reduce the broth cooking time since canned peas are already soft. Add them towards the end to avoid overcooking.
Replace the ribs with vegetable broth and add smoked paprika or mushrooms for a rich, umami flavor. Use olive oil instead of meat drippings for frying the vegetables.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently on the stove to prevent the peas from becoming mushy.
Yes, this soup freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove, adding a splash of water if needed.
Crusty bread, garlic croutons, or a fresh green salad complement the hearty flavors. Pickles or sour cream also work well for added tang.
Absolutely! Skip the potatoes or replace them with diced turnips or cauliflower for a similar texture with fewer carbs.
Mash some of the peas or blend a portion of the soup, then stir it back in. Simmer uncovered to reduce the liquid further.
Yes, ham hocks, bacon, or smoked sausage are great alternatives for added flavor. Adjust cooking times based on the meat used.
