Canadian Yellow Split Pea Soup with Ham image

Creamy yellow pea soup studded with bits of ham, carrots, celery, and thyme. There is nothing like this one on a cold day! I am a Canadian now living in the US. and cannot get Habitant® soup anymore, so I came up with this version. I think it is as good as the real thing, if not better, because it is homemade.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

Soup:
2 tablespoons coconut, olive, or vegetable oil
1 medium red onion, chopped
4 large carrots, scrubbed, chopped
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
2 teaspoons Madras curry powder
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
12 ounces yellow split peas
6 cups chicken stock, low-sodium chicken broth, or water
Coconut and assembly:
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
2 teaspoons coconut, olive, or vegetable oil
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Kosher salt
Cilantro leaves (for serving)

Steps:

  • Soup:
  • Heat a large heavy pot over medium and pour in oil. Add onion and carrots, season with a five-finger pinch of salt, and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are very tender and just taking on a hint of color at the edges, about 5 minutes. Lightly crush fennel seeds with a mortar and pestle, or roughly chop them. Add fennel seeds, curry, and mustard seeds to pot and cook, stirring, until fragrant (the mustard seeds may begin to pop), less than a minute. Add split peas, stir to coat, then add stock and 4 cups water. Increase heat and bring to a boil, then simmer, stirring occasionally and adding more water if soup looks too thick, until split peas are very tender and some are starting to disintegrate, 50-55 minutes.
  • Mash soup with a potato masher until split peas are in small pieces and soup is textured but creamy (if you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender directly in the pot). Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt.
  • Coconut and assembly:
  • While the soup is simmering, lightly crush coriander, fennel, and mustard seeds.
  • Heat oil in a small skillet over medium and cook coconut flakes and spices, stirring constantly, until spices are sizzling and coconut is golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate, season with salt, and let cool (coconut will crisp as it cools).
  • Serve soup topped with spiced coconut and cilantro.

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.

Categories     Beans

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups yellow split peas
3 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
7 cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock or water)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (fresh coriander)

Steps:

  • Pick over and discard any damaged peas or stones. Rinse the peas. Drain.
  • In a soup pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and carrot and saute, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the ginger and stock or water and the rinsed peas. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until the peas are completely soft, 45-60 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Use a blender, food processor or hand blender to puree until smooth. Thin with water or stock, if necessary. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, to make the garnish, in a small bowl whisk together the yogurt, turmeric, cumin, ground coriander and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Ladle the soup into individual bowls. Drizzle with the spiced yogurt and sprinkle with the cilantro.

Tips:

  • Soak the split peas: Soaking the split peas overnight or for at least 4 hours helps to soften them and reduce cooking time. If you're short on time, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 30 minutes.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices in this soup give it a warm and flavorful taste. Feel free to experiment with different spices, such as cumin, coriander, or turmeric.
  • Don't overcook the split peas: Overcooked split peas can become mushy. Cook them just until they are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Serve with a variety of toppings: This soup is delicious on its own, but it's even better with a variety of toppings, such as croutons, chopped cilantro, or a dollop of yogurt.

Conclusion:

This yellow split pea soup with spiced yogurt is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting soup, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
