California Pizza Kitchen's Dakota Smashed Pea & Barley Soup image

From topsecretrecipes.com I've never even tried the soup at the California Pizza Kitchen, but it sounds good. I'm posting it as much for my reference as anyone elses! ;) Vegetable broth may be substituted for the chicken broth to make this soup vegan.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups split peas
6 cups water
4 cups chicken broth (or 2 14.5 oz. cans)
1/3 cup onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon parsley
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon thyme
1/2 cup barley
6 cups water
2 medium carrots, diced (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup celery, diced
snipped green onion, for garnish

Steps:

  • Rinse and sort the split peas.
  • Add them to a large pot with 6 cups of water, chicken broth, onion, garlic, lemon juice, salt, sugar, parsley, pepper, and thyme.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1-1 1/2 hours or until the peas are soft.
  • While the peas are cooking, combine the barley with 6 cups of water in a saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1-1 1/2 hours or until the barley is soft and most of the water has been absorbed.
  • When the split pea mixture has become a thick soup, use a handheld blender to puree the peas until the mixture is smooth.
  • A standard blender or food processor may also be used to puree the soup in batches.
  • This step may also be omitted.
  • Drain the the remaining water from the barley and add the barley to the split pea mixture.
  • Add the carrots and celery and continue to simmer the soup for 15 to 30 minutes or until the carrots are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Turn off the heat, cover the soup, and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish each serving with the snipped green onion.

I'm not a big fan of barley, but I really liked this soup. The peas and herbs really balance out the flavor of the barley.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it ahead of time and then reheat it when you're ready to serve. It's also a great soup to freeze for later.

I love that this soup is so versatile. You can add whatever vegetables you have on hand. I also like to add a little bit of shredded chicken or tofu for extra protein.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover peas and barley. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I was a little hesitant to try this soup because I'm not a big fan of peas, but I'm so glad I did. The peas are cooked perfectly and they add a nice sweetness to the soup. The barley also gives it a great texture.

I've made this soup a few times now and it's always a hit. The peas and barley give it a great texture and the herbs and spices add a lot of flavor. I like to serve it with a side of crusty bread.
