Pea soup with smoked meat is prepared by washing peas, then cooking brisket with onions, carrots, and tomatoes, adding smoked ribs, potatoes, and peas, and simmering in a slow cooker for 25 minutes. While the soup cooks, you can make croutons by frying bread in a dry pan. After cooking, let the cooker cool, release steam, add spices, and serve.
