ärter med fläsk
Swedish yellow pea soup slowly cooked with salt-cured pork hock, onion, clove, thyme and marjoram.
About ärter med fläsk
Ärter med fläsk, commonly presented as ärtsoppa med fläsk, is Swedish yellow pea soup enriched with pork. This profile follows ICA Buffé's classic salt-cured pork-hock version and leaves mustard, crispbread, dairy and pancakes as separate serving traditions.
Yellow peas break down into a mellow, earthy base, while salt-cured pork hock contributes savoury richness and tender meat. Onion, clove, thyme and marjoram give the thick soup a restrained sweet-herbal warmth.
The soup is opaque golden yellow and thick enough to suspend diced pork, with softened peas creating a rustic, slightly textured body. The pork remains visibly chunky and tender against the creamy-looking pea base.
