Pea soup with smoked chicken - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Smoked turkey, ham, or even cooked bacon make great alternatives. For a vegetarian version, use smoked tofu or add a dash of liquid smoke to mushrooms for depth.
Omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of water. Add umami with mushrooms, soy sauce, or miso paste. For creaminess, blend half the soup or stir in coconut milk at the end.
Absolutely! Use 3 cups frozen peas (no need to soak) and add them with the potatoes. Reduce cooking time by 5-10 minutes since they cook faster than dried peas.
Store in airtight containers for 3-4 days in the fridge. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water or broth. Freeze for up to 3 months—thaw overnight before reheating.
Skip potatoes and add cauliflower florets instead. Increase protein with extra chicken and consider adding spinach or kale for bulk. Use olive oil or butter for frying veggies.
Keep the pan at medium heat and avoid overcrowding. Stir occasionally, letting the onions and carrots caramelize evenly. Add a tablespoon of broth if they start to dry out.
Top with fresh herbs (dill or parsley), a dollop of sour cream, or croutons. Pair with crusty bread or a crisp salad. A squeeze of lemon brightens the flavors!
