00:09 Hello, dear friends.
00:11 You are watching a new program, Recipes from Russia. 00:15 From these programs, you get to know 3ABN Russia better, and 00:20 we also share with you some of our favorite tasty and healthy 00:25 recipes. 00:26 With me today is our favorite Natasha Shmelyova. 00:31 Hi, Natasha. 00:32 So good to have you here. 00:33 Hi, Julia. 00:34 Hi, everyone. 00:35 I am so happy to be here again. 00:37 Thank you for inviting me. 00:39 Oh, yes, it is always a pleasure, a delight, and a lot 00:43 of fun to have you in our kitchen. 00:46 Thank you. 00:47 Well, dear friends, you have probably noticed that when I'm 00:51 here with Natasha, we always reminisce with her about the 00:56 construction times of 3ABN Russia Evangelism Center and 01:00 about John Carter, with whom we worked so closely during the 01:04 construction times. 01:06 John is a person that is always in our hearts. 01:10 It's impossible to forget him because he was a real 01:13 personality and a real true Christian. 01:17 You know, Julia, John built a very good team around him. 01:22 He would invite wonderful people who would come here and 01:26 help in the best possible way. 01:29 Okay. 01:30 And today when we want to prepare a recipe of a Russian 01:34 -style split pea soup, believe it or not, I thought about Greg 01:41 Lindbergh and Judy Lindbergh, because John invited Greg to 01:48 come here and show our Russian laborers how to work with 01:52 cement. 01:53 Greg himself worked, and John worked, and they showed how to 02:00 do it. 02:05 And as far as I remember, when they laid concrete, when they 02:09 laid cement, it was smooth. 02:12 It was such a wonderful quality. 02:14 Greg would come here a few times, and once he came with 02:18 his wife Judy and their daughter Anika. 02:21 Anika was the same age with my younger son. 02:24 They made friends, and it was wonderful to watch how they 02:28 would sing and dance and scream, especially on the back 02:32 seat of our car when we took her, and all my family went to 02:36 the summer house. 02:37 So the recipe I'm sharing today, I fixed exactly 02:43 according to what Judy told me, believe it or not, 30 years 02:48 ago. 02:49 So split pea soup Russian -style. 02:52 We'll take a cooking pot. 02:57 You see our peas, they may be green color, they may be this 03:03 light orange color, doesn't matter, and we wash them 03:06 thoroughly. 03:07 So we put them in the cooking pot. 03:12 We'll add carrots, and we add one whole onion. 03:19 Whole onions? 03:20 Yes. 03:22 And we'll add water. 03:24 Okay. 03:26 Yeah. 03:27 We put it on fire, or we heat it up, and we'll bring it to a 03:35 boil, and then we'll reduce heat, I would say, to a 03:41 minimum. 03:42 Okay, and how long will the vegetables cook? 03:44 You see, Julie, since these peas sat in the freezer 03:48 overnight, they will cook pretty quickly. 03:52 I would say in 40 minutes, this soup will be ready. 03:57 Okay, stay with us, and you will learn the rest of the 04:00 recipe for split pea soup Russian-style. 04:07 Welcome back. 04:09 So, Natasha, our peas and vegetables have cooked and 04:13 cooled down a little bit. 04:14 What do we do next? 04:15 You know, Julie, we can leave this soup as it is. 04:19 Add salt, stir it, and here it is. 04:24 But we'll have pieces of peas there. 04:27 Some people love it this way, but some people love it as a 04:32 cream soup. 04:32 Okay. 04:37 blender and blend it for a few seconds, because these peas are 04:42 very, very tender now. 04:44 But you know, Julie, before doing this, we'll remove and 04:48 discard the onion, which we've just done. 04:52 I don't like to blend the soup with the cooked onion. 04:57 So we're taking our pot with the soup. 05:01 We're taking the blender. 05:04 And the magic will start now. 05:25 Here we are. 05:26 Didn't take too much time. 05:28 Okay. 05:29 And we will add salt now. 05:35 Okay. 05:35 Who knows how much salt? 05:37 I don't know, Julie. 05:38 We say we add salt to taste. 05:42 We'll put it back on the stove and bring it to a boil, just to 05:48 a boil. 05:54 Okay. 05:55 If you have a stainless steel cooking pot, you're on a safer 06:01 side. 06:02 But we need to be very careful now because this soup loves to 06:07 glue to the bottom. 06:09 In order to avoid that effect, we need to stir it, just in 06:16 case. 06:17 Okay. 06:18 And meanwhile, let us look at what's new at 3ABN Russia. 06:24 3ABN Russia produces many theological programs to help 06:28 people understand the Bible. 06:30 In our new open book programs, the pastors answered such 06:34 questions as How to preserve spirituality in the modern 06:38 world? 06:42 How to move mountains with prayer? 06:45 Dear friends, everything that happens at 3ABN Russia becomes 06:49 possible only due to your support. 06:52 Thank you so much for it. 06:53 And now, Natasha is going to put the final touches to our 06:58 split pea soup Russian style. 07:01 Yes, Julia. 07:03 I'll share the final touches with our viewers. 07:06 And I want to say that they're very important because when the 07:09 soup is ready, it doesn't mean that we can immediately serve 07:13 it. 07:17 with two more ingredients necessary for the pea soup. 07:21 The first ingredient will be a whole grain bread. 07:25 Okay, whole grain. 07:27 Yes. 07:34 Fahrenheit. 07:35 But before doing that, we'll add a little bit of oil. 07:41 If somebody doesn't want to do so, don't add oil. 07:45 So, oil is optional. 07:47 Okay, you're adding olive oil, right? 07:49 Yes, this is olive oil. 07:51 And I put it in the oven. 07:55 And now, Julia, it's time for the onion. 07:59 Okay, Russian people love onion. 08:03 This is a whole one onion that we chopped. 08:09 Yes. 08:10 You can take a white onion or a yellow onion. 08:13 Don't take a red onion. 08:15 So, we'll remove the pot. 08:20 I'll take a pan. 08:22 Okay. 08:23 Heat it up. 08:25 We'll try to add as little oil as possible. 08:30 Okay. 08:31 And let's put the chopped onion. 08:36 It's finely chopped. 08:38 Very finely chopped, yeah. 08:40 And let's saute it for as many minutes as will be needed to 08:49 see that the onion changes its color. 08:54 Okay. 09:00 Okay, okay. 09:05 This is Julia. 09:06 It didn't take a lot of time to saute the onion. 09:10 And here it is. 09:11 And now we'll take care of croutons because they're ready 09:15 now. 09:16 And I want to say that they don't need to be hard, hard as 09:20 real croutons. 09:22 They may be soft inside, which is very good for this soup. 09:27 Though it depends on how people love it. 09:32 And here comes a very special moment. 09:35 Yes, Julia. 09:36 Now this is the result of our efforts. 09:44 We'll pour soup. 09:46 Enter plate. 09:55 Okay. 09:57 We'll add sauteed onions. 10:03 And we add croutons. 10:06 Guys, as for croutons, it depends on you. 10:12 Some people will love to add a lot of croutons and then they 10:17 will absorb some soup and they will become very soft and very 10:21 tender. 10:22 Some people will love it like this. 10:25 You take just one crouton, put it in your soup, and then when 10:29 you eat, you need to have both the crouton and a little bit of 10:34 sauteed onions and the soup itself. 10:38 And again, you add one crouton and it's like that. 10:42 So it depends on how you will love it. 10:46 Julia, I want you to try it. 10:49 I'll be a good girl. 10:51 I will give it to you without a crouton. 10:53 Be careful. 10:54 It's very, very hot. 10:57 Okay. 10:58 Julia, be careful. 11:05 Is it good? 11:07 It's amazing. 11:09 It's amazing. 11:10 I'm glad. 11:11 The program is not over yet and it looks like I'm ready to eat 11:15 it all. 11:17 It's so easy to cook. 11:18 It's good for beginners and ladies of the house know how to 11:22 fix it. 11:26 tomatoes, celery, bay leaves, coriander, potatoes. 11:31 I don't think so because the peas are very good by 11:35 themselves. 11:37 Okay. 11:38 I can't but agree with this having tasted this soup. 11:42 And here is a complete recipe of split pea soup Russian 11:47 style. 11:50 Russian style split pea soup. 11:53 Put peas, onion and carrot in a pot with enough water to cover. 11:58 Simmer until the peas are done and the onion and carrot are 12:02 soft. 12:07 Remove and discard the onion. 12:09 In a blender, blend the peas and carrots until smooth. 12:13 Put the blended vegetables back in the pot, add salt and return 12:17 to a simmer. 12:18 Remove from heat. 12:20 Put finely chopped onion in an oiled pan. 12:23 Lightly saute for 5 to 10 minutes or until crisp. 12:28 Garnish the split pea soup with crisp onions, smoked paprika 12:32 and croutons and serve. 12:36 Croutons. 12:37 Preheat oven to 305 degrees Fahrenheit. 12:41 Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 12:44 Set aside. 12:46 Cut the bread into 1 inch cubes. 12:49 Toss gently with olive oil until lightly coated. 12:53 Place bread cubes on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 12:57 305 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes or until golden. 13:03 Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the cubes. 13:10 Dear friends, you may send to us your questions and comments 13:14 at this address. 13:16 If the Lord is moving your heart to support 3ABN Russia in 13:20 spreading of the message of salvation to the Russian 13:22 -speaking people of the world, and in our time it is 13:26 especially important, then please visit 3ABN.TV or call 13:31 618 -627-4651. 13:37 Well, Natasha, thank you so much for this most delicious 13:41 recipe. 13:42 You're very welcome, Julia. 13:44 You're my witness how easy it is to cook this soup. 13:48 I hope that our viewers will try and will be happy with it. 13:53 And I want to say now, guys, we will be glad if you succeed 14:01 with this soup. 14:02 We hope that you will try to cook it. 14:05 I want to say now thank you for watching, thank you for your 14:09 time. 14:10 God bless you and your families. 14:14 Well, until we see you next time in our program Recipes 14:18 from Russia. 14:20 Bye-bye! 14:23 Music Music Music |
