MOOSEWOOD GOLDEN SPLIT PEA AND SWEET POTATO SOUP
I wanted to save this before I tried it. It is a bit different from the other Moosewood Golden Split Pea Sweet Potato Soup already posted on Zaar. This came from a January 1992 Bon Appetit article on the Moosewood Restaurant.

JAMAICAN GOLDEN SPLIT PEA SOUP
A wonderful, simple soup, which can easily be made vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken broth. I like to garnish with a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley. Beer is an excellent accompaniment to this soup.

EAST AFRICAN PEA SOUP
This is a recipe I saw originally in the Sundays at Moosewood cookbook. I use some of the habanero peppers I grow to add heat to this soup, but the original recipe called for about 1/8 teaspoon cayenne. Jalapenos or other hot chiles would also be good substitutes for the habs, although they are by far my favorite hot pepper.

GOLDEN SPLIT PEA SOUP
This is from my Low-Fat Moosewood cookbook. Your house will smell like an Indian restaurant! The soup is a beautiful dark gold color. Don't use green or brown lentils, it just won't be the same. This makes a lot, but you can freeze it. Even my one year old loves this! Serve topped with plain yogurt and chopped cilantro. Pass pita bread.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your soup the best flavor. If you can, buy your ingredients from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
- Don't skimp on the olive oil: Olive oil adds a rich, flavorful base to the soup. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
- Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the soup: Sautéing the vegetables will help them release their flavor and aromas. It will also help to prevent them from becoming mushy in the soup.
- Use a variety of spices: Spices add depth and complexity to the soup. Experiment with different spices to find a combination that you like. Some good options include cumin, coriander, turmeric, and paprika.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered gently until the vegetables are tender but still retain their shape. Overcooking the soup will make it mushy and bland.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some good options include yogurt, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and croutons.
