  3. Boil the peas together with the soaking water, 1 l water, broth, bay leaves, spring onions or onions, half each of the vegetables, potatoes, and parsley, and add the marjoram completely.
  4. Now add the Kasseler and let it simmer covered for about 2 – 2 ½ hours. Take the Kasseler out of the soup after about 1 ½ hour and let the other ingredients continue to simmer.
  5. If you want to use wieners as a meat garnish, simply add the sausages to the 15 simmer.
  6. After another 30 minutes, add the potatoes that were previously laid out separately and the remaining vegetables to the soup and let them cook.
  7. Heat the oil. Press the meat mixture from the bratwurst into small dumplings in the hot oil. Fry well on all sides for about 5 minutes, then remove. Dice the toast. Heat the butter in the frying fat and toast the toast in it until golden brown. Take out and set aside.
  8. Finely chop the remaining parsley. Season the soup with 1 pinch of sugar, salt, and pepper. Remove the Kassler from the bone and dice. Add the meatballs to the soup and serve.
  9. Scatter the bread cubes and parsley on top.

Useful additional knowledge

If you want to go faster, you can also use frozen peas, which saves you from having to soak them. If you don’t like Kassler or bratwurst, you can also vary it with wieners or meat sausage or, of course, you can enjoy the soup without any meat at all. And if you don’t like it so chunky, puree the soup and then add meat or sausages. For a quick version, you can also replace the soup vegetables with frozen soup vegetables. A dab of sour cream or crème fraîche gives the dish a finer note. As with almost all hearty soups, the same applies to the classic pea soup: it usually tastes better warmed up!
