Hello, dear friends.
00:00:09.77\00:00:11.24
You are watching a new
program, Recipes from Russia.
00:00:11.61\00:00:15.01
From these programs, you get
to know 3ABN Russia better, and
00:00:15.64\00:00:20.18
we also share with you some of
our favorite tasty and healthy
00:00:20.18\00:00:25.32
recipes.
00:00:25.32\00:00:25.95
With me today is our
favorite Natasha Shmelyova.
00:00:26.55\00:00:30.73
Hi, Natasha.
00:00:31.09\00:00:31.96
So good to have you here.
00:00:32.03\00:00:33.50
Hi, Julia.
00:00:33.73\00:00:34.40
Hi, everyone.
00:00:34.46\00:00:35.26
I am so happy to be here again.
00:00:35.26\00:00:37.73
Thank you for inviting me.
00:00:37.83\00:00:39.47
Oh, yes, it is always a
pleasure, a delight, and a lot
00:00:39.83\00:00:43.57
of fun to have
you in our kitchen.
00:00:43.57\00:00:46.01
Thank you.
00:00:46.21\00:00:46.74
Well, dear friends, you have
probably noticed that when I'm
00:00:47.61\00:00:51.81
here with Natasha, we always
reminisce with her about the
00:00:51.81\00:00:56.38
construction times of 3ABN
Russia Evangelism Center and
00:00:56.38\00:01:00.09
about John Carter, with whom
we worked so closely during the
00:01:00.09\00:01:04.46
construction times.
00:01:04.46\00:01:05.86
John is a person that
is always in our hearts.
00:01:06.80\00:01:09.96
It's impossible to
forget him because he was a real
00:01:10.13\00:01:13.17
personality and a
real true Christian.
00:01:13.17\00:01:16.84
You know, Julia, John built
a very good team around him.
00:01:17.81\00:01:21.41
He would invite wonderful
people who would come here and
00:01:22.58\00:01:26.58
help in the best possible way.
00:01:26.58\00:01:29.42
Okay.
00:01:29.42\00:01:30.19
And today when we want to
prepare a recipe of a Russian
00:01:30.62\00:01:34.56
-style split pea soup, believe
it or not, I thought about Greg
00:01:34.56\00:01:41.43
Lindbergh and Judy Lindbergh,
because John invited Greg to
00:01:41.43\00:01:48.84
come here and show our Russian
laborers how to work with
00:01:48.84\00:01:52.61
cement.
00:01:52.61\00:01:53.17
Greg himself worked, and John
worked, and they showed how to
00:01:53.88\00:02:00.08
do it.
00:02:00.08\00:02:04.52
And as far as I remember, when
they laid concrete, when they
00:02:05.69\00:02:09.92
laid cement, it was smooth.
00:02:09.92\00:02:11.93
It was such a wonderful quality.
00:02:12.09\00:02:14.10
Greg would come here a few
times, and once he came with
00:02:14.30\00:02:18.30
his wife Judy and
their daughter Anika.
00:02:18.30\00:02:21.17
Anika was the same
age with my younger son.
00:02:21.54\00:02:24.24
They made friends, and it
was wonderful to watch how they
00:02:24.41\00:02:28.04
would sing and dance and
scream, especially on the back
00:02:28.04\00:02:32.61
seat of our car when we took
her, and all my family went to
00:02:32.61\00:02:36.28
the summer house.
00:02:36.28\00:02:37.09
So the recipe I'm
sharing today, I fixed exactly
00:02:37.35\00:02:42.79
according to what Judy told
me, believe it or not, 30 years
00:02:43.53\00:02:48.23
ago.
00:02:48.23\00:02:48.73
So split pea
soup Russian -style.
00:02:49.20\00:02:52.03
We'll take a cooking pot.
00:02:52.37\00:02:54.30
You see our peas, they may
be green color, they may be this
00:02:57.11\00:03:03.01
light orange color,
doesn't matter, and we wash them
00:03:03.01\00:03:06.38
thoroughly.
00:03:06.38\00:03:06.92
So we put them
in the cooking pot.
00:03:07.72\00:03:10.22
We'll add carrots, and
we add one whole onion.
00:03:12.32\00:03:19.09
Whole onions?
00:03:19.16\00:03:20.03
Yes.
00:03:20.16\00:03:20.80
And we'll add water.
00:03:22.36\00:03:23.83
Okay.
00:03:24.70\00:03:24.73
Yeah.
00:03:26.13\00:03:26.50
We put it on fire, or we heat
it up, and we'll bring it to a
00:03:27.40\00:03:35.14
boil, and then we'll
reduce heat, I would say, to a
00:03:35.14\00:03:41.22
minimum.
00:03:41.22\00:03:41.58
Okay, and how long
will the vegetables cook?
00:03:42.22\00:03:44.42
You see, Julie, since
these peas sat in the freezer
00:03:44.69\00:03:48.42
overnight, they
will cook pretty quickly.
00:03:48.42\00:03:51.86
I would say in 40 minutes,
this soup will be ready.
00:03:52.13\00:03:56.40
Okay, stay with us, and
you will learn the rest of the
00:03:57.40\00:04:00.84
recipe for split
pea soup Russian-style.
00:04:00.84\00:04:03.77
Welcome back.
00:04:07.91\00:04:08.74
So, Natasha, our peas and
vegetables have cooked and
00:04:09.38\00:04:13.05
cooled down a little bit.
00:04:13.05\00:04:14.18
What do we do next?
00:04:14.42\00:04:15.45
You know, Julie, we can
leave this soup as it is.
00:04:15.88\00:04:19.42
Add salt, stir
it, and here it is.
00:04:19.42\00:04:23.69
But we'll have
pieces of peas there.
00:04:24.03\00:04:27.03
Some people love it this way,
but some people love it as a
00:04:27.76\00:04:32.07
cream soup.
00:04:32.07\00:04:32.77
Okay.
00:04:32.83\00:04:37.77
blender and blend it for a few
seconds, because these peas are
00:04:37.77\00:04:42.71
very, very tender now.
00:04:42.71\00:04:44.28
But you know, Julie, before
doing this, we'll remove and
00:04:44.81\00:04:48.65
discard the onion,
which we've just done.
00:04:48.65\00:04:52.09
I don't like to blend the
soup with the cooked onion.
00:04:52.65\00:04:56.83
So we're taking
our pot with the soup.
00:04:57.13\00:04:59.93
We're taking the blender.
00:05:01.23\00:05:02.63
And the magic will start now.
00:05:04.20\00:05:07.20
Here we are.
00:05:25.49\00:05:26.45
Didn't take too much time.
00:05:26.65\00:05:28.39
Okay.
00:05:28.49\00:05:29.19
And we will add salt now.
00:05:29.62\00:05:34.13
Okay.
00:05:35.33\00:05:35.56
Who knows how much salt?
00:05:35.90\00:05:37.17
I don't know, Julie.
00:05:37.23\00:05:38.20
We say we add salt to taste.
00:05:38.50\00:05:41.00
We'll put it back on the stove
and bring it to a boil, just to
00:05:42.40\00:05:48.41
a boil.
00:05:48.41\00:05:54.25
Okay.
00:05:54.72\00:05:55.58
If you have a stainless steel
cooking pot, you're on a safer
00:05:55.98\00:06:01.06
side.
00:06:01.06\00:06:01.72
But we need to be very careful
now because this soup loves to
00:06:02.32\00:06:07.76
glue to the bottom.
00:06:07.76\00:06:08.83
In order to avoid that effect,
we need to stir it, just in
00:06:09.86\00:06:16.67
case.
00:06:16.67\00:06:17.04
Okay.
00:06:17.44\00:06:18.04
And meanwhile, let us look
at what's new at 3ABN Russia.
00:06:18.84\00:06:23.35
3ABN Russia produces many
theological programs to help
00:06:24.81\00:06:28.52
people understand the Bible.
00:06:28.52\00:06:30.09
In our new open book programs,
the pastors answered such
00:06:30.35\00:06:34.42
questions as How to preserve
spirituality in the modern
00:06:34.42\00:06:38.53
world?
00:06:38.53\00:06:41.80
How to move
mountains with prayer?
00:06:42.10\00:06:44.33
Dear friends, everything that
happens at 3ABN Russia becomes
00:06:45.33\00:06:49.34
possible only
due to your support.
00:06:49.34\00:06:51.84
Thank you so much for it.
00:06:52.07\00:06:53.78
And now, Natasha is going
to put the final touches to our
00:06:53.78\00:06:58.78
split pea soup Russian style.
00:06:58.78\00:07:00.68
Yes, Julia.
00:07:01.52\00:07:02.12
I'll share the final
touches with our viewers.
00:07:03.08\00:07:05.85
And I want to say that they're
very important because when the
00:07:06.09\00:07:09.62
soup is ready, it doesn't mean
that we can immediately serve
00:07:09.62\00:07:13.09
it.
00:07:13.09\00:07:17.87
with two more ingredients
necessary for the pea soup.
00:07:17.87\00:07:21.54
The first ingredient
will be a whole grain bread.
00:07:21.54\00:07:25.67
Okay, whole grain.
00:07:25.91\00:07:26.91
Yes.
00:07:27.14\00:07:34.55
Fahrenheit.
00:07:34.55\00:07:35.45
But before doing that,
we'll add a little bit of oil.
00:07:35.68\00:07:41.02
If somebody doesn't
want to do so, don't add oil.
00:07:41.69\00:07:44.83
So, oil is optional.
00:07:45.23\00:07:47.20
Okay, you're
adding olive oil, right?
00:07:47.40\00:07:49.40
Yes, this is olive oil.
00:07:49.40\00:07:51.10
And I put it in the oven.
00:07:51.33\00:07:52.77
And now, Julia,
it's time for the onion.
00:07:55.24\00:07:59.34
Okay, Russian people love onion.
00:07:59.71\00:08:02.84
This is a whole one
onion that we chopped.
00:08:03.38\00:08:09.72
Yes.
00:08:09.82\00:08:10.59
You can take a white
onion or a yellow onion.
00:08:10.79\00:08:13.66
Don't take a red onion.
00:08:13.82\00:08:15.66
So, we'll remove the pot.
00:08:15.66\00:08:19.69
I'll take a pan.
00:08:20.00\00:08:21.80
Okay.
00:08:22.53\00:08:22.56
Heat it up.
00:08:23.16\00:08:24.17
We'll try to add as
little oil as possible.
00:08:25.10\00:08:28.70
Okay.
00:08:30.11\00:08:30.14
And let's put the chopped onion.
00:08:31.67\00:08:36.21
It's finely chopped.
00:08:36.71\00:08:38.08
Very finely chopped, yeah.
00:08:38.45\00:08:40.15
And let's saute it for as many
minutes as will be needed to
00:08:40.58\00:08:49.56
see that the
onion changes its color.
00:08:49.56\00:08:54.66
Okay.
00:08:54.93\00:09:00.37
Okay, okay.
00:09:00.64\00:09:01.90
This is Julia.
00:09:05.51\00:09:06.34
It didn't take a lot of
time to saute the onion.
00:09:06.51\00:09:09.91
And here it is.
00:09:10.08\00:09:11.21
And now we'll take care of
croutons because they're ready
00:09:11.45\00:09:15.45
now.
00:09:15.45\00:09:16.02
And I want to say that they
don't need to be hard, hard as
00:09:16.69\00:09:20.72
real croutons.
00:09:20.72\00:09:21.92
They may be soft inside, which
is very good for this soup.
00:09:22.32\00:09:27.13
Though it depends
on how people love it.
00:09:27.60\00:09:30.33
And here comes a
very special moment.
00:09:32.13\00:09:35.10
Yes, Julia.
00:09:35.67\00:09:36.54
Now this is the
result of our efforts.
00:09:36.54\00:09:42.18
We'll pour soup.
00:09:44.08\00:09:45.75
Enter plate.
00:09:46.88\00:09:47.95
Okay.
00:09:55.26\00:09:55.69
We'll add sauteed onions.
00:09:57.03\00:10:01.20
And we add croutons.
00:10:03.20\00:10:06.17
Guys, as for
croutons, it depends on you.
00:10:06.97\00:10:12.17
Some people will love to add
a lot of croutons and then they
00:10:12.34\00:10:17.11
will absorb some soup and they
will become very soft and very
00:10:17.11\00:10:21.82
tender.
00:10:21.82\00:10:22.18
Some people will
love it like this.
00:10:22.68\00:10:25.39
You take just one crouton, put
it in your soup, and then when
00:10:25.69\00:10:29.66
you eat, you need to have both
the crouton and a little bit of
00:10:29.66\00:10:34.63
sauteed onions
and the soup itself.
00:10:34.63\00:10:37.83
And again, you add one
crouton and it's like that.
00:10:38.53\00:10:42.47
So it depends on
how you will love it.
00:10:42.77\00:10:45.81
Julia, I want you to try it.
00:10:46.01\00:10:48.04
I'll be a good girl.
00:10:49.44\00:10:50.95
I will give it to
you without a crouton.
00:10:51.15\00:10:53.35
Be careful.
00:10:53.52\00:10:54.28
It's very, very hot.
00:10:54.42\00:10:55.95
Okay.
00:10:57.89\00:10:58.12
Julia, be careful.
00:10:58.39\00:10:59.09
Is it good?
00:11:05.89\00:11:06.56
It's amazing.
00:11:07.83\00:11:08.93
It's amazing.
00:11:09.20\00:11:10.07
I'm glad.
00:11:10.23\00:11:11.17
The program is not over yet and
it looks like I'm ready to eat
00:11:11.90\00:11:15.54
it all.
00:11:15.54\00:11:16.50
It's so easy to cook.
00:11:17.21\00:11:18.41
It's good for beginners and
ladies of the house know how to
00:11:18.64\00:11:22.98
fix it.
00:11:22.98\00:11:26.18
tomatoes, celery, bay
leaves, coriander, potatoes.
00:11:26.18\00:11:31.12
I don't think so because
the peas are very good by
00:11:31.89\00:11:35.92
themselves.
00:11:35.92\00:11:36.66
Okay.
00:11:37.43\00:11:38.06
I can't but agree with
this having tasted this soup.
00:11:38.56\00:11:41.73
And here is a complete
recipe of split pea soup Russian
00:11:42.46\00:11:47.30
style.
00:11:47.30\00:11:47.80
Russian style split pea soup.
00:11:50.64\00:11:52.97
Put peas, onion and carrot in a
pot with enough water to cover.
00:11:53.98\00:11:58.01
Simmer until the peas are done
and the onion and carrot are
00:11:58.81\00:12:02.42
soft.
00:12:02.42\00:12:06.65
Remove and discard the onion.
00:12:07.22\00:12:08.69
In a blender, blend the
peas and carrots until smooth.
00:12:09.26\00:12:12.53
Put the blended vegetables back
in the pot, add salt and return
00:12:13.40\00:12:17.50
to a simmer.
00:12:17.50\00:12:18.20
Remove from heat.
00:12:18.80\00:12:19.90
Put finely chopped
onion in an oiled pan.
00:12:20.60\00:12:23.24
Lightly saute for 5 to
10 minutes or until crisp.
00:12:23.94\00:12:27.38
Garnish the split pea soup with
crisp onions, smoked paprika
00:12:28.21\00:12:32.38
and croutons and serve.
00:12:32.38\00:12:34.68
Croutons.
00:12:36.02\00:12:36.72
Preheat oven to
305 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:12:37.45\00:12:40.36
Line a large baking
sheet with parchment paper.
00:12:41.22\00:12:44.03
Set aside.
