Since moving to Oregon and enduring their early onset of fall, I have decided that I like to meal replace once a day with soup. It has also been WAY too long since I used one of the recipes from The Gracious Pantry. To remedy the latter and adhere with the former, I decided to make Clean Split Pea Soup today. This is what the recipe looks like:
Ingredients
8 cups veggie broth
3 cups dry split peas
4 large carrots, sliced
4 stalks celery, sliced
1 red onion, chopped
2 tsp. celery seed
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. onion powder
1 tbsp olive oil
The recipe is given to make approximately 5 quarts, but I have no storage space so I cut everything down to, give or take, 1/3 of what it called for. I also don't like celery seed. I think this is a common ingredient in split pea soups and may be the reason I haven't eaten any in years. If you like the traditional taste then by all means keep it in there. I also added some cubed ham to this dish mainly for the protein and because I have never eaten split pea soup without ham. I wasn't ready to go THAT rogue. One day! All in all, this recipe was DELICIOUS. The flavors were very low-key, but blended together nicely. In addition, it was super simple to make and can be cooked on the stove-top or in a crock pot. Tiffany describes this recipe as "a quick, go-to soup recipe for a busy, cold and blustery weeknight" and I think she is spot on.
Salud!
