Split Pea Soup

[Guest guest]

Here's a recipe for classic split pea soup, which I

adapted to make vegan. I've found that adding liquid

smoke adds great flavor to many dishes like soups or

red beans & rice, for example, which traditionally add

smoked meat. This recipe is low fat and jam-packed

with nutrition. Not to mention yummy and hearty.

 

SPLIT PEA SOUP

 

8 cups water

1 pound dried green split peas (about 2 1/4 cups)

1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 vegetable bullion cubes

1 cup carrots which have been cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1 cup celery which has been cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1 tablespoon liquid smoke

1 package sliced vegan " ham " deli slices, chopped

 

Heat water and peas to boiling in large pot, boil 2

minutes. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 1

hour.

 

Stir onion, salt, vegetable bullion, and pepper into

peas. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer

until peas are tender, about 1 hour (longer if peas

are old).

 

Stir carrots and celery into soup. Heat to boiling;

reduce heat. Cover and simmer until vegetables are

tender, about 45 minutes. Add liquid smoke and " ham. "

Stir, serve with crackers or bread.
