Here's a rich and hearty split pea soup with a twist. Since the peas do not need to be pre-soaked, it can be put together quickly and easily. For a little added smokiness and spice, dice up a couple chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and add them with the other herbs and spices.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
6 cups low-sodium beef broth
2 pounds dried split peas
1 carrot, peeled and diced
2 small potatoes, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 bay leaves
2 ½ pounds smoked turkey legs
2 cups water, or as needed
2 ½ tablespoons sour cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook the onion in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes; stir in the garlic and cook another 30 seconds. Pour in the beef broth; add split peas, carrot, potatoes, soy sauce, basil, black pepper, parsley, red pepper flakes, sage, kosher salt, and bay leaves. Place the smoked turkey legs into the pot and pour in enough water to cover the peas by about 1 inch. Push the meaty ends of the turkey legs down into the liquid. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the peas have softened, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove the turkey legs from the soup and set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, strip the meat from the bones and tendons, finely chop the turkey meat, and set aside. Using a stick blender, puree the soup to your desired degree of smoothness. Stir the turkey meat back into the soup. Ladle into bowls and top each with a dollop of sour cream.

SMOKED TURKEY AND SPLIT PEA SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     turkey     Thanksgiving     Low Carb     High Fiber     Dinner     Fall     Winter

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 large smoked turkey thighs
Bones of 2 whole chickens (optional)
1 medium bag yellow split peas
1 large onion chopped
4 celery stalks chopped
4 carrots chopped
4 sprigs of Fresh or dried Thyme
2 Tablespoons of black pepper
1 Tablespoon of coarse salt
1 pack of reduced sodium chicken stock (optional)
4 Green Onions (two diced, two left whole)
3 Leeks chopped (white parts only)
4 potatoes (chopped)
Olive oil or Ghee

Steps:

  • Strip turkey meat from the thigh bones and if possible cut the bones in two and set aside. Cut up the meat into large chunks about 3 inch cubes, and divide into two bowls. Boil yellow split peas into a large pot for at least an hour, use just enough water that the peas are covered and add more as you cook if needed. While peas are boiling, heat your large soup pot and coat the bottom generously with the olive oil or ghee. Brown the chicken bones and turkey bones and add the black pepper and salt. Once bones are browned, add the chopped onion, celery and carrots followed by the diced green onions and cook at medium heat till the vegetables begin to feel tender. Add the potatoes and leeks and cook covered for about 5 minutes minutes. Now add half of the smoked turkey, the thyme, and enough water and chicken stock that everything in the pot is covered, then cook covered for 15 minutes. Add the entire pot of split peas into the giant soup pot and stir carefully to mix everything in. Throw in the whole green onions that were set aside and let the entire pot simmer on low heat for 2 hours. After two hours, turn of the heat and let the pot sit for an hour to settle the flavors. Enjoy on its own or with cornbread or any bread that suits your fancy.
