Hernesupp

Yellow-pea and barley soup with smoked pork and vegetables.

About Hernesupp

KR associates hernesupp with Estonia's Vastlapäev, or Shrove Tuesday, and presents a traditional yellow-pea soup. This version selects smoked pork leg from the source's pork choices and includes pearl barley, onion and carrot.

The peas and barley join the pork and vegetables in the same cooking pot. Salt, mustard, pepper and garlic form the complete published seasoning list, rather than an expanded mixture of stock cubes or additional herbs.

The long simmer brings the grain, peas and meat together in a hearty soup. Its smoked-pork flavour sits alongside the peas and carrots, with barley adding substance to the broth.
