VEGETARIAN SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA SOUP
Got this recipe online a couple years ago. I've tweaked it a little bit and will probably continue to experiment by throwing other vegetables in. It's a great soup for a cold day when I know I won't have time to cook dinner. I usually make a batch and freeze what we don't eat. It tastes the same when reheated after the freezer, but the texture does change slightly. Lasts a few days in the fridge as well.

YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP--VEGETARIAN/VEGAN
This is from a veg cookbook purchased on the checkout lane at the grocery store but I'm not sure which. It is a lovely soup, and it gets better over a day or so. The ingredient list appears lengthy, but it is largely due to the yummy combination of spices. The original recipe calls for a combination of any veggies as long as you reach 4 cups (or a 16 oz bag of frozen veggies). I list specific veggies here as they are the ones recommended in the recipe.

Steps:
- In a medium pan bring water and salt to a boil; add split peas and return to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 45 minutes or until tender. Do not drain.
- Meanwhile, steam vegetables until crisp tender.
- In a small skillet, cook curry powder, cumin, turmeric, ginger, and red pepper in hot oil for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
- In a food processor or blender combine the undrained split peas and the spice mixture. Process until combined. If too thick, add water or warm broth. Transfer back to the medium saucepan and stir in the steamed vegetables. Heat through and serve.
- FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH--I highly recommend just leaving the split peas in the pan, adding spices, and using an immersion blender! Much simpler, and fewer dishes to wash :).

THAI TWIST SLOW COOKER VEGETARIAN SPLIT PEA SOUP
Some days you just need a slow cooker meal...! Love soups and was looking for something a little different. If you have an open jar or packet of thai curry paste in your fridge, and you like the flavour of it, this is another way to enjoy it. Most of the items are pantry staples, which is how this came to be, and it's fairly low calorie/low fat. I made it to fit a small crock pot (2.5 Q I think)....yields enough for 2 good sized portions. If you use a larger crock pot you would probably have to double the recipe. Some flat bread on the side makes it a meal.

Steps:
- Add the items to your slow cooker and stir.
- In the small cooker it only took 4 hours on high, which could easily be stretched out to 8 hours on low. Keep an eye on the water content -- it may need more water or broth added depending on your cooker.

- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
- If you want a thicker soup, you can add a cornstarch slurry or a roux. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, add it to the soup and cook until thickened.
- To make a roux, melt some butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Then, add an equal amount of flour and whisk until smooth. Cook for a few minutes, or until the roux is golden brown. Then, add it to the soup and cook until thickened.
