YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH SPICED YOGURT



Yellow Split Pea Soup With Spiced Yogurt image

From the Williams-Sonoma Beans and Rice cookbook. While the yogurt sauce is good, we prefer it without. Instead, we just use a large amount of cilantro. This mildly gingery soup is best when served hot, but it is also good chilled. The distinctive yogurt topping is similar to Indian raita, a blend of yogurt and various spices.

1 1/2 cups yellow split peas

1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
