Recipe: Split Pea Soup

Split Pea Soup

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan, Paleo

Ingredients:

  • 1 package dried peas 24 oz. (I use Aurora Naturals)

  • 6 full sized carrots

  • 6 full sized celery stalks

  • 1/2 medium yellow onion

  • 3 tbsp avocado oil (olive oil works too)

  • 4 cups vegetable stock (I use More Than Gourmet Vegetable Stock)

  • Optional: garlic powder, nutritional yeast, salt

Directions:

  • Peel carrots, wash celery, and chop both into small pieces. Peel onion, cut in half, and chop one half into small pieces.

  • Heat a large pot on the stove on medium heat. Add 3 tbsp avocado oil to the pot and add in the chopped carrots, celery, and onion. Saute for about 5 min until golden.

  • Add in vegetable stock and 4 cups of water.

  • Add in full bag of dried peas.

  • ** Optional - I sprinkled in some salt + garlic powder, but feel free to skip if you avoid.

  • Stir everything together. Keep on medium heat until it begins to boil. Once it begins to boil, lower heat to simmer and cover the pot with lid.

  • Let it simmer for about 45 min - 1 hour.

  • Add everything to a blender & puree. You may have to do half at a time unless you have a massive blender!

  • Once pureed, add back to the pot and it’s ready to be served.

  • I personally like to sprinkle some nutritional yeast on top!
