SUN OVEN SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Set Sun Oven out to preheat. If necessary, remove the leveling tray and set a rack on the floor of the cooking chamber to accommodate your large pot.

Pour the oil into a shallow pot or cake pan that fits on top of the soup pot. Add the onions and cumin seed, stirring to coat. Cover and place in the Sun Oven. Cook until the onions are golden and the peas are falling apart, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Discard the bay leaves. Using an immersion blender puree the soup in the pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the onions and serve.
