SPLIT PEA AND DILL SOUP

SPLIT PEA AND DILL SOUP image

Categories Soup/Stew Vegetable

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large leek (white and pale green parts only), chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 bay leaf
1 cup green split peas, rinsed
Carrots, Potatoes, Onions and Celery - add if you want to make the
soup more substantial
5 3/4 cups vegetable broth, divided (or chicken broth)
Salt to taste
1 cup frozen petite green peas, thawed
5 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided

Steps:

Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add leek and bay leaf (and carrots, potatoes, onions and celery if desired). Sauté until leek wilts, about 3 minutes. Add split peas and stir to coat. Add 5 1/4 cups broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until split peas are just tender, about 35 minutes (up to 1 hr). Remove from heat. Transfer 1 cup soup solids, bay leaf, and remaining 1/2 cup broth to blender. Add petite peas and 4 tablespoons dill. Puree until smooth. Return puree to soup. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon dill (can also put greek yogurt on the top).

Tips:

To save time, use pre-split peas. They cook in about 30 minutes, compared to 1-2 hours for dried peas.
If using dried peas, be sure to sort and rinse them before cooking. This will remove any dirt or debris.
To make the soup creamier, blend or puree some of the peas before adding them back to the pot.
Add vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions to the soup for extra flavor and nutrition.
Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or dill.
Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
