I wanted to save this before I tried it. It is a bit different from the other Moosewood Golden Split Pea Sweet Potato Soup already posted on Zaar. This came from a January 1992 Bon Appetit article on the Moosewood Restaurant.

Categories     Soup/Stew     Bean     Potato     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Low Cal     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Winter     Healthy     Vegan

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup yellow split peas
4 cups vegetable broth
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
7 whole green cardamom pods
1 tbsp ghee (clarified butter) or canola oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Lemon juice
Cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp fine sea salt
Ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Stovetop method: Soak the peas in water to cover overnight. Drain and rinse. Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a medium pot. Add soaked peas, sweet potato slices and cardamom pods. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer for an hour. Heat ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, garam masala and cumin and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often. When sweet potatoes and peas are tender, add the spiced onions to the pot. Stir and cook 5 minutes more. Remove cardamom pods and season the soup with lemon, cayenne, salt, and pepper to taste. Slow cooker method: Place peas, broth, sweet potato and cardamom pods in a slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours, adding additional broth or water to thicken if needed. When ready to serve, heat ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, garam masala and cumin and cook 10 minutes, stirring often. Add the spiced onions to the slow cooker. Stir, cover and cook 15 minutes longer on high heat. Remove cardamom pods and season the soup with lemon, cayenne and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use good quality split peas: Look for split peas that are whole and free from blemishes. Avoid buying split peas that are cracked or discolored.
  • Soak the split peas overnight: Soaking the split peas overnight will help them to cook more quickly and evenly. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them in water for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Don't overcook the split peas: Split peas should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked split peas will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables, such as potatoes, parsnips, or turnips.
  • Add a ham bone or smoked sausage for extra flavor: If you like, you can add a ham bone or smoked sausage to the soup for extra flavor. Just be sure to remove the meat from the bone before serving.
  • Serve with a side of crusty bread or crackers: Sweet split pea soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
