SMOKEY SPLIT PEA SOUP

Smokey Split Pea Soup image

This is what I call an accidental recipe, was making split pea soup one night and had some blue cheese in the fridge and thought I would add it to the soup just wondering what kind of flavor it would add to the soup...It was quite amazing and have been doing it ever since. Everyone has told me I ought to bottle it and sell it. ...

SMOKY SPLIT PEA SOUP

Smoky Split Pea Soup image

Split pea soup recipes are often flavored with ham hocks, but this veg version gets its smoky taste from smoked paprika and chipotle chiles. Sweet potatoes and split peas are good sources of potassium, which lowers blood pressure. If split peas are old(after about 1-2 years) they will not get tender, so check the date. Adapted from Vegetarian Times magazine(Feb. 2010).

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 cup split peas
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (can add more to taste)
1 teaspoon chopped chipotle chile, canned in adobo sauce (more if you like it really spicy)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
1 teaspoon oregano, chopped (optional)
1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced (3 cups, you can use winter squash if you like instead or even carrots)
2 medium onions, diced (3 cups)
3 celery ribs, diced (1 cup)
4 -6 garlic cloves, minced (4 tsp.)
6 cups water (or vegetable stock)
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Steps:

Soak split peas in large bowl of cold water overnight(some reviewers said they boiled the peas for 30 or 40 minutes rather than soaking and it worked fine).
Heat oil in 3-qt. saucepan over medium heat. Add paprika, chipotle, and cumin if using, and stir. Add sweet potato(or squash), onions, and celery, and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Cover, and cook 10 minutes, or until onions are soft and translucent. Add garlic, and sauté 2 minutes.
Drain split peas, and add to pot with 6 cups water(I use about 4 cups vegetable stock and 2 cups water). Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 1 hour. Add tomatoes, and cook 30 minutes more, or until split peas are tender.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 parsnips, peeled and chopped
1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
2 sprigs fresh oregano
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
2 ounces bourbon
1 pound split peas, picked through for pebbles then rinsed with cold water
One 8-ounce piece smoked ham
8 cups chicken broth
1/2 baguette, sliced and toasted

Steps:

In a large sauce pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the celery, garlic, parsnip and onion, and saute for 15 minutes to build flavor, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. Add the oregano, thyme and bay leaf, and cook on low for 3 more minutes. Turn the burner off and add the bourbon, return to the heat and reduce for 3 minutes. Add the split peas, ham and stock. Remember to season lightly as you cook. Cook until the peas are tender and the soup has reduced to the desired consistency, about 1 hour. Pull the ham piece and herbs from the pot and, using an immersion blender, blend the soup until mostly smooth. Cut the ham into 1/2-inch pieces and add back to the pot. Serve with the toasted baguette.
