Erwtensoep, also called snert, is the Dutch version of pea soup.
|
|
Slices of rookworst (smoked sausage) are added before serving. The soup, which is traditionally eaten during the winter, is emblematic of Dutch cuisine.
|
|
It is customarily served with Frisian rye bread (roggebrood) and bacon, cheese or butter.
|
|
Pancakes are sometimes served with pea soup; this dish is called snert met struif, struif referring to the pancakes.

|
|
7. When the vegetables are tender, remove the bacon and smoked sausage, slice thinly, and set aside.
