Ärtsoppa, a slow-cooked soup made of dried yellow peas, onion, and broth is one of Sweden's classic dishes whose origins reach remarkably far back, as it is claimed to have been documented as a staple from at least as early as the middle ages.
Most commonly, this thick, simple soup is associated with Thursdays, as it was historically served as a hearty bracer before Friday's fast. Even though fasting on Friday is no longer common, this traditional pea soup is often still served at Thursday supper, often in combination with thin Swedish pancakesfor dessert (and sometimes with a glass of punsch liqueur). So ingrained is the idea of pea soup and pancakes on Thursdays, that many schools and restaurants serve it for Thursday lunch and even the army continues to serve it on Thursdays. This combination is not exclusive to Sweden, of course, as for example Finland also enjoys this particular duo (although I'm told that Finnish pea soup is usually made from dried greenpeas). Whether this is due to the complicated history between Finland and Sweden or is simply a Scandinavian favourite across the board, I'm not sure.
Ärtsoppa is available in both vegetarian and meaty versions, with

Fast allra bäst gillar jag att göra soppa med tacosmaker, denna heta smakrika soppa i en mexikansk tappning är en favvo. Serverades med gratinerade tortillachips. Yummi Yummi.

Ärtsoppa
Soak the split peas for 4 hours or overnight.
Heat a large pot over medium heat, and add in the olive oil. When the pan is heated, add the onion, and saute for 5–7 minutes, or until translucent. Add in the carrots and saute for another 5–7 minutes until tender.
Add in salt, clove, thyme, and marjoram, cooking for 1 minute to let the spices bloom. Mix in the vegetable stock, and turn the heat of the pot up to high. Bring to a boil, and then turn down to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove from heat, and add 3/4 of the soup to a blender. You can do this in batches if you&#;d like to be more on the cautious side. Using a towel on top of the blender lid, carefully blend until velvety smooth. Be careful, the soup will be extremely hot.
Return the blended soup to the pot with the remaining, un-blended soup, and mix in the fresh dill. Divide among 6 bowls, top with mustard, and remaining dill as a garnish. Serve immediately with buttered bread and extra mustard on the side.
