SPICY SPLIT PEA SOUP



Spicy Split Pea Soup image

I like to bake a ham just so I can use the leftover bone to make my split pea soup. After moving to New Mexico a few years ago, I discovered folks here put peppers or chilies in almost everything. So I decided to add some to this soup.

SPICY SPLIT PEA SOUP- ALL VEGETARIAN/ VEGAN VERSION



Spicy Split Pea Soup- All Vegetarian/ Vegan Version image

A wonderful split pea soup, and you do not miss the bacon or ham:) My son loved it. I never liked this soup, so I decided to make one with spices I like and also wanted to keep it healthy. I'm trying out new recipes for health, but they must also taste great! I forgot to buy celery so I used some celery salt. and I had to separate the soup at the end because my husband does not like hot spicy foods, ( the garlic and onion ok) . My son and I loved it with the cayenne and cracked red pepper! I would have liked to cook it longer with these spices.

SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH CRISPY KIELBASA



Split Pea Soup with Crispy Kielbasa image

One of my all-time favorite comfort foods is a bowl of split pea soup, dating back to the days when my mother served us canned pea soup with cut-up hot dogs (very '50s!). Now I prefer a big pot of homemade soup to serve with sautéed kielbasa on top. I love the way the earthy, creamy soup contrasts with the crispy, spicy sausage.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Good olive oil
2 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts, spun-dried (2 leeks)
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large)
2 cups (1/2-inch) diced, scrubbed carrots (3 large)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 pound dry green split peas
8 cups good chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 smoked ham hock
8 fresh thyme sprigs, tied with kitchen twine
2 large fresh bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces smoked kielbasa, halved lengthwise and sliced diagonally in 1/4-inch-thick pieces
Minced fresh parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large (11 to 12-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, over medium-high heat. Add the leeks, onion, and carrots and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and starting to brown. Stir in the garlic and cook for one minute. Stir in the peas to coat with oil and cook for one minute. Add 8 cups of the chicken stock, 2 cups water, the ham hock, thyme bundle, bay leaves, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, partially covered, for 1 1/4 hours, stirring occasionally, until the peas are very tender and falling apart. After 45 minutes, stir more frequently, scraping the bottom of the pot to be sure the soup doesn't burn.
  • Discard the thyme bundle, bay leaves, and ham hock. Transfer 2 cups of the soup to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and purée. Return the purée to the pot, adding more chicken stock or water if the soup is too thick.
  • To serve, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium (10 to 11-inch) sauté pan over medium heat. Add the kielbasa and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the kielbasa is browned. Serve the soup hot with the kielbasa and parsley sprinkled on top.
  • Make ahead: Reheat the soup over low heat, adding chicken stock or water to thin.
