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.
