Time 3h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 cup dried split peas
5 cups cold water
¼ cup diced onion
¼ cup thinly sliced celery
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pinch coarse salt
2 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste
3 bay leaves, or more to taste
1 cup sliced carrots, or more to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Inspect peas, discarding any stones, foreign matter, or unattractive peas. Place peas in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water to remove pea dust.
Transfer drained peas into a pot with a lid and a heavy, heat-diffusing bottom. Add water, onion, celery, ketchup, olive oil, salt, garlic, and bay leaves. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a very slow simmer. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom every 7 to 12 minutes, until peas have largely fallen apart, about 1 1/2 hours.
Stir carrots into the soup. Cook, covered, stirring often, until peas are completely dissolved and soup is thick, about 1 1/2 hours more. Remove and discard bay leaves. Season with pepper.

Provided by Alison Andrews

Categories Appetizer Soup

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 Medium Onion (White, Yellow or Brown, Chopped)
1 teaspoon Crushed Garlic
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Oregano
2 cups Dried Green Split Peas ((450g))
2 Large Carrots (Chopped)
2 Large Potatoes (Peeled and chopped)
8 cups Vegetable Stock ((1920ml))
14 ounces Canned Coconut Milk ((400ml) Full Fat, Unsweetened)
Sea Salt (to taste)
Black Pepper (to taste)

Steps:

Add the chopped onion and crushed garlic to a pot with the olive oil and oregano. Sauté until softened.
Add the dried green split peas, chopped carrots and potatoes and the vegetable stock.
Bring to the boil and then cover and turn the heat down to a simmer. Simmer for around 45 minutes, stirring now and again (be careful it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot) until everything is soft and cooked. It will become very thick, like a very thick stew.
When cooked remove from the heat and blend with an immersion blender if you have one. If you don't have one then either leave the soup chunky or transfer in stages to a blender jug and blend it.
When blended it will be very thick and smooth. Now add in the coconut milk and stir in.
Add sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve with chopped spring onions to garnish and bread for dipping.

Tips:

For a smoother soup, blend a portion of the soup in a blender or use an immersion blender until smooth, then add it back to the pot.
For a thicker soup, mash some of the peas with a fork or potato masher before adding them to the soup.
To add more flavor to the soup, sauté the vegetables in a little olive oil before adding them to the pot.
If you don't have vegetable broth, you can use water instead. Just add a little extra salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the soup with a dollop of vegan sour cream, a sprinkling of fresh herbs, or a side of crusty bread.
