Split Pea Soup Recipe
This is one of the easiest soups I’ve ever made, and the result is simply amazing. Just an hour on the stove, and it’s ready to serve! Picture a rainy day as you treat yourself to a hearty bowl of soup that feels like something your grandma used to make. This soup is exactly that. Isn’t it the best when winter rolls around and it’s finally soup season? This recipe is as simple, comforting, and delicious as it gets.
Yields 4 portions
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups dried split peas
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 2 liters (~ 8 ½ cups) water
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder (optional)
- Ground black pepper
- Salt, to taste
Preparation:
-
- 1. Dice the onion and heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a pot. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and sauté until golden. While the onion is cooking, slice the garlic and add it to the pot.
- 2. Roughly chop the sweet potato and add it to the pot along with the peas, water, and spices.
- 3. Cook for about an hour, or until the peas are tender.
- 4. Transfer the soup to a food processor and blend until smooth, leaving small pieces for texture.
- 5. Pour into bowls and enjoy!
Tips and tricks:
No need to soak the peas beforehand, but make sure to use fresh peas (not ones that have been stored for a long time).This soup tends to thicken as it cools. If needed, add more liquid when reheating.
Don’t like sweet potatoes? You can also use regular potatoes.
