Wash and peel one medium carrot, and dissolve it in cubes.
- Four peeled potatoes are cut into cubes of the same size.
- Cut 200 g of pork loin into small cubes.
- Heat a pan with 10 ml of refined vegetable oil. Fry the pork loin sticks in hot oil until pink.
When the peas are ready, be sure to remove the boiled onion from the soup and try to remove the boiled garlic cloves. - In a pot with cooked peas, start diced potatoes with carrots and cook until the potatoes are ready.
- Once the potatoes are soft, add slices of fried pork loin to the soup.
