Smoky Split Pea and Root Vegetable Soup image

wonderful split pea soup. not sure where the recipe came from, i have had it for years and subscribe to many cooking publications and own way too many cookbooks. i usually make it with a ham bone but is just as good with smoked turkey wings. when i really want to ham it up i brown a center cut slice in pan before i begin, remove from pan and cut into pieces and add last 30 minutes.

SMOKY SPLIT PEA SOUP

Smoky Split Pea Soup image

Split pea soup recipes are often flavored with ham hocks, but this veg version gets its smoky taste from smoked paprika and chipotle chiles. Sweet potatoes and split peas are good sources of potassium, which lowers blood pressure. If split peas are old(after about 1-2 years) they will not get tender, so check the date. Adapted from Vegetarian Times magazine(Feb. 2010).

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 cup split peas
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (can add more to taste)
1 teaspoon chopped chipotle chile, canned in adobo sauce (more if you like it really spicy)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
1 teaspoon oregano, chopped (optional)
1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced (3 cups, you can use winter squash if you like instead or even carrots)
2 medium onions, diced (3 cups)
3 celery ribs, diced (1 cup)
4 -6 garlic cloves, minced (4 tsp.)
6 cups water (or vegetable stock)
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Steps:

Soak split peas in large bowl of cold water overnight(some reviewers said they boiled the peas for 30 or 40 minutes rather than soaking and it worked fine).
Heat oil in 3-qt. saucepan over medium heat. Add paprika, chipotle, and cumin if using, and stir. Add sweet potato(or squash), onions, and celery, and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Cover, and cook 10 minutes, or until onions are soft and translucent. Add garlic, and sauté 2 minutes.
Drain split peas, and add to pot with 6 cups water(I use about 4 cups vegetable stock and 2 cups water). Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 1 hour. Add tomatoes, and cook 30 minutes more, or until split peas are tender.

Tips:

Use a Dutch oven or large pot for the soup. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the soup from burning.
Rinse the split peas thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
Soak the split peas for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time.
Add a ham bone, smoked sausage, or bacon to the soup for extra flavor.
Use a variety of vegetables in the soup, such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the soup.
Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
Serve the soup with crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Smoky split pea soup is a hearty, flavorful, and budget-friendly meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its smoky flavor and variety of vegetables, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
