The story behind

This version features a rustic texture with peas that have partially broken down to create a dense broth. It includes generous slices of 'rookworst' or smoked sausage, along with potato cubes and celery. Served in a beige bowl on a wooden base and garnished with fresh chopped parsley, it captures the essence of a comforting winter meal.

    Simmer for about 45 minutes, removing any foam that rises to the surface.
