Wash the grass peas, soak them in plenty of water for 8 hours, and drain.
Dice the onion finely, and cut the carrot and potato into cubes.
Soften the onion in olive oil for 6 minutes.
Add the carrot, potato, drained grass peas, meat broth, and salt to the pot.
Cook the soup for 42 minutes, until the grass peas are tender.
Add the dried mint, thyme, and red pepper flakes, then simmer over low heat for 7 more minutes.
Serve Mugla grass pea soup hot; if it is too thick, loosen it with a little hot water.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find grass peas, try green lentils but shorten the cooking time by 10 minutes; grass peas stay firmer.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve grass pea soup hot in bowls on a winter table, with optional lemon, dried mint, and cornbread.
