Best Simple Split Pea Soup Recipes

SIMPLE VEGAN SPLIT PEA SOUP

Steps:

• Inspect peas, discarding any stones, foreign matter, or unattractive peas. Place peas in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water to remove pea dust.
• Transfer drained peas into a pot with a lid and a heavy, heat-diffusing bottom. Add water, onion, celery, ketchup, olive oil, salt, garlic, and bay leaves. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a very slow simmer. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom every 7 to 12 minutes, until peas have largely fallen apart, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Stir carrots into the soup. Cook, covered, stirring often, until peas are completely dissolved and soup is thick, about 1 1/2 hours more. Remove and discard bay leaves. Season with pepper.

SIMPLE SPLIT PEA AND BARLEY VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• In large sauce pan over low heat add butter and melt. Now add the celery, carrots, onion, garlic, and Old Bay Seasoning. Cook until vegetables become soft. Add chicken stock and split peas. Raise heat to a simmer and cook covered on low 30-40 minutes. Even though the pot is covered, the broth will mostly evaporate.
• While the split peas are cooking make the barley in a separate pot. Add barley to boiling water and cook about 40 minutes. When time is up, drain barley and add to soup pot with split peas.
• Add the can of cream of chicken soup and water. Stir until combined. Add salt and pepper and sriracha sauce. Heat to simmer and serve. This is a creamy soup that you'll make over and over again. So simple, inexpensive, hearty and delicious!

SIMPLE SPLIT-PEA SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Saute onions with olive oil in a large stock pot until translucent on medium heat, which will take about 8 minutes.
• 2. Add celery, carrots and potato and saute 3-4 more minutes.
• 3. Pour in chicken broth and add split peas and ham. Uncovered, bring to a boil.
• 4. Once boiling, cover and turn heat down to low. Let the soup simmer for 3-4 hours. The soup is done when the split peas have broken apart and are evenly mixed throughout the soup.
• Notes: The longer you cook the soup, the better and more developed the flavor gets--sometimes I'll transfer it to a crock pot and let it simmer in there all day. If you like a smooth soup, blend finished soup with an immersion blender or in a food processor in small batches (large batches will make a mess!) If you like a thicker soup, add a small hand full of split peas to the 1-cup listed.
