On a cold day like today, nothing hits the spot like SOUP! Vegetarian Split Pea Soup, to be exact. It’s hard to find a good split pea soup made without ham, but this recipe does it! It even makes use of your leftover kale stems, which are full of fibre.
Vegetarian Split Pea Soup
Ingredients
1 Tbsp Omega Nutrition Organic Coconut Oil (this one has a neutral flavor)
2 large organic onions, finely chopped
1 organic carrot, finely chopped (if you use organic, you don’t have to peel the carrot!)
1 cup chopped organic kale stems
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
2 cups organic yellow split peas
6 cups filtered water
1/2 GoBio Organic Low Sodium Vegetable Bouillon Cube
Juice of 1/2 organic lemon
Additional grated carrot
Eden Organic Black Sesame Gomasio
Directions: Melt coconut oil in a large pot. Add onion and salt, and sautee until onions soften. Stir in carrot and kale stems, then add water, bouillon, and split peas. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 mins (until the peas soften to your liking). Ladle 1/3 of the soup into a bowl and set aside. Puree the remaining soup in a blender, then add the reserved soup back in. You may need to thin out the soup with water. Garnish with the lemon juice, grated carrot, and gomasio and serve!
