This Finnish pea soup can be made well in advance. You can double or
triple the recipe and freeze it in useful quantities. Malla
Karhusaari also suggests reducing the cooking time by using a
pressure cooker or microwave to prepare it. Rinse peas and soak in
cold water in large port for 8 hours or overnight. Bring peas and
soaking water to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for one hour
or until peas begin to soften. Add pork and continue to simmer for
two to three hours, until peas and meat ar thoroughly cooked. When
meat is tender, remove it from pot, discard skin and bone, cut meat
in cubes and return to soup. You may need to add more water to pot
for desired consistency. Season with marjoram, mustard, salt and
pepper. Heat to blend flavors and serve hot. Serves 6. From The
