Vegetarian Split Pea Soup Recipe

Vegetarian Split Pea Soup Notes

Although often made with a ham bone, our version of split pea soup is so hearty and heart healthy you won't miss the meat. Serve with thick slices of rustic bread.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 medium carrot, finely chopped
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• 1 parsnip, finely chopped
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 pound green split peas, rinsed and picked over
• 1 1/2 ounce Veggie Stock Gold
• 4 cups hot water
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1 bay leaf
• to taste, salt and freshly ground black pepper

Serves / Yields

Serves 4

Preparation Instructions

Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Stir in vegetables and sauté until softened (8-10 minutes), stirring occasionally. Add peas, the diluted stock, thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, cover, and reduce heat so liquid is simmering. Cook until peas are very tender, about 1 to 1¼ hours.

Remove bay leaf. Transfer mixture to a food processor, or blender, and pulse until almost smooth.

Return to pot and heat until hot, adding more water, if necessary. Soup should be rather thick.
