A few quick notes
1. Match the preparation in the method
Take a look at the chopping, slicing or shaving step before bringing the parts together. Use the preparation described there so the food goes into the next stage in the form the recipe expects.
2. Give the simmer its place
Keep the simmering stage in the sequence when planning the meal. Follow the heat and texture checks in that step rather than rushing straight to the finish.
3. Keep the first boil and the next step together
Read what happens once the mixture comes to a boil. Have the next ingredient or heat adjustment ready, and continue with the sequence the recipe gives.

A few questions you might have
What should I get ready before starting?
Set out the pot. Read the first preparation step before you get going: Mince two cloves of garlic.
Which little step is worth remembering?
Take a look at the chopping, slicing or shaving step before bringing the parts together. Use the preparation described there so the food goes into the next stage in the form the recipe expects.
What check should I look for as it cooks?
Keep this part of the method in view: When it reaches a boil, turn the heat down to medium-low and continue to let the soup simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 45 minutes, or until the peas have completely broken down and the soup is thick (keep the lid on between stirs).
Is there another preparation step to plan for?
Keep the pan where you can return for the stirring step in the method. Use the stated heat and finish check while it warms or cooks.
