SMOKY SPLIT PEA AND ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP
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
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).

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.
