So at the end of the poorest month of the year, an incredibly cheap recipe fits well. This soup is also fantastically good, a real Swedish classic.

Ingredients
4 dl yellow peas
water
1-2 carrots
1 yellow onion
1 tsp thyme
1 bay leaf
3 allspice grains

Accessories
mustard

Do like this:

1. Put the yellow peas in water for about 10 hours.
2. Drain and rinse the peas.
3. Peel carrots and onions.
4. Place all ingredients in a saucepan. Put in the carrot and onion whole. Pour in water to cover and a little more.
5. Cook until the peas are done. Stir occasionally and add water if necessary. Pick up the carrots and onions before they fall apart. I boiled the soup for about 3 hours and then got a wonderfully thick soup with well-cooked peas. Remove the allspice and bay leaves before serving.

Serve with mustard. Bread or crisp bread with cheese is always good.
