Simple and very tasty!!!!! Enjoy! FYI - you might want to use just broth instead of combo water broth. that will depend on your taste buds and how salty you like things. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups split peas, rinsed |
1 cup water |
5 cups broth, of choice (i used veggie powdered organic, no msg and not too much sodium) |
1 carrot, finely chopped |
1 celery, with leaves finely chopped |
2 tablespoons olive oil (sub. butter or veg.oil) |
1 onion, finely chopped |
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
1 bay leaf |
salt & pepper |
1/2 teaspoon cumin |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon turmeric |
1 dash parsley |
Directions:
1. In a large pot add at low-med heat cook onions and garlic until transparent.
2. Add a little water as the time passes so the onions wont brown or crisp.
3. Add water/broth combo, spices and then add celery, carrots and peas.
4. Bring to a boil.
5. Reduce heat to a simmer for 1 to 11/2 hours - until peas are soft and mushy.
6. Remove the bay leaf.
7. Cool slightly.
8. Puree in a blender for a smooth soup or leave as is.
