This is a recipe for the Best Ever Split Pea ever! Since I was a child, split pea soup has been my favorite winter warmer – the ultimate comfort food! Of course, when I was a kid, my mom used to add ham to her soup.
Now that I am vegetarian, I omit the ham and use vegetable broth which means this version of Best Ever Split Pea is vegan as a result. And I think it tastes better than mom’s (but sshh, don’t tell her that!). This recipe has a long cooking time, but it is really easy to prepare. Simply cook split peas in broth with some fried carrots, onions, celery and garlic and in a few hours, you’ll have the most delicious and nutritious split pea. You’ll be surprised how good it tastes!
To make the Best Ever Split Pea, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or a large pot over a medium heat.
Fry the onion, carrot, celery and garlic for until the onions are translucent.
Mix in the green and yellow split peas, broth, seasoning and salt.
Cover the pot and bring to a boil before reducing the heat to low and simmering for 2 1/2 hours. Stir frequently while cooking.
Once the peas are cooked serve soup.
This Best Ever Split Pea is healthy, hearty and full of flavor. I have it on its own for lunch or with freshly-baked bread as a satisfying dinner. Try it out and let me know what you think - just leave a comment or review below.
OMG, this Best Ever Split Pea is a total winner! I’ve loved split pea soup since I was a kid, and this vegan twist is even better than my mom's! The flavor is on point, and it warms me up on cold nights. My kiddos didn’t even miss the ham! 🍵❤️
Superb! My kids loved it as much as I did when mum made it years ago. Using veg broth made it even better than I remembered.
Simplicity at its best. Made this with the kids on a snowy day and we loved every spoonful
I am over the moon with this Best Ever Split Pea recipe! I used to think nothing could top my mom's soup, but this version, with veggie broth, is out of this world. It’s so simple to make! I can't wait to serve it at our next family dinner!
Je suis tellement contente de cette recette de split pea! Depuis petite, j’adorais la soupe de pois. Maintenant végétarienne, ce plat est parfait avec le bouillon de légumes. Facile à préparer et super savoureux, je pense qu’il surpasse même celle de ma mère. Yum!
Superb flavor blend
Best soup ever! So comforting.
Absolutely love it. My grandma made this soup every winter, and now I do the same for my family. It brings back such warm memories every time I cook it.
I absolutely love this Best Ever Split Pea recipe! It reminds me of my mom's soup from my childhood, but now I enjoy it vegan. So easy and delicious—perfect for chilly evenings!
Deliciously warm soup!
OMG, the Best Ever Split Pea is lit! I'm a veggie now, so the ham is out, but this soup is still a hug in a bowl! My mom would totally flip if she knew how much I love it now! Super easy, too!
Superb! This split pea soup is now my go-to recipe!
Excellently simple recipe. I made it for my kids last weekend, and they loved it. The flavors were just like my mom used to make, even without ham. This soup brings back such warm memories, a true comfort in a bowl.
