That sounds wonderful and >easy. Thanks Emily I don't have a recipe for this, as such, so I'll just tell you how I do it. Slice two big onions, chop two carrots. Chop two celery stalks (with leaves if possible). Put them in the crockpot with about 2 cups of split peas and about 4-5 cups of water or veggie stock. Add a couple of bay leaves. Stir. Cook on high for about 3-4 hours or on low for about 6-8 hours. (I'm guessing at the quantity of split peas and of the stock or water, I don't actually measure them, but I think this is about right. I checked the split pea soup recipe in my Fanny Farmer cookbook and it says 2 cups split peas, 4 cups water.) Add more water if you need to. It should wind up very thick at the end, the split peas should dissolve into...well..mush. Add some tamari for flavor, if you wish. Black pepper can be added at the end too. The addition of some vegetarian sausage near the end would probably be good. There's nothing magic about using the crockpot for this, you can also do it in a heavy stew pot on top of the stove, on a low flame. It then takes from 1-2 hours. Also, please note that this doesn't take 9-10 hours like many crockpot dishes, so I don't think it's well suited for someone starting it in early morning, then going to work all day. I generally use the crockpot on high for 3-4 hours when I make it. Corn muffins are especially nice served with split pea soup, IMHO. Add a little salad or a sliced tomato and it's a meal.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Here's my favorite Split pea soup. It's from a vegetarian cookbook named " A celebration of Wellness " by James Levin MD & Natilie Cederquist. Homestyle Split Pea soup 5 1/2 cups water 1 1/2 cups split peas, rinsed 1 Tbls concentrated vegetable stock 1/2 Tbls onion powder or 1 small onion, diced 1/2 tsp Dill or 1 Tbls fresh minced (can be omitted) Dash Cayenne pepper 1/2 cup green pepper, chopped 1/2 cup carrots, minced 1/2 cup carrots,quartered & sliced thin 1. Boilwater in a large pot,add peas, stir & cover, cook on low for one hour (I usually cook mine even longer) 2. Add remaining spices & vegetables, simmer covered another 20-30 minutes. You may wish to add more water as needed. Serves 6 one cup servings. Hope you enjoy this soup as much as I do Peace Moonshadow , " Amy P.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Mine is easy and yummy. I make it all the time. Chop one onion and sautee in a large pot till soft. Add 1 c chopped carrots, 1c chopped celery, and cook a little longer. Add 2 qts water and 2-4 bouillion cubes (I *love* the Maggi Vegetable ones. They're great just made into a drink.). Add a bag of split peas and 1/2 tsp sage or marjoram. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered till peas are mushy. You can also just throw everything in a crock pot and cook it that way. Serve with crusty bread. Veronica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 It sounds like the one I make. Yum.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I use yellow split peas. You don't have to soak them - I make a french canadian style pea soup (minus the ham) sort of fry the peas for a few seconds add a few cups of water some frozen veggies a little salt and pepper let boil, stirring often add more water as needed, but it should be very thick YUMMY!!! A Classic Staple of a good quebec home the only difference with the real way to make it is you leave a ham bone while in it while it is cooking. I think it became so popular becuase you could mae a huge amount for cheap - it can warm up a 10 child family in the middle of winter... mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Mike, This soup recipe, like most is what we call " comfort food " . Nothing like sitting down to a hot boul of soup and a piece of bread..No matter where you live. Something to look forward to again in the cold weather. I have never browned the peas before simmering in water but I will try it..I just recently learned to brown rice before boiling and it makes a big difference in the taste. I love Split-Pea soup..Just by itself with no added veggies. Served with corn bread it makes not only a beautiful combination of colors but a wonderful taste.. Sending smiles and hugs.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Lentils are small, round and *flat*. Split peas are round, half balls; a pea, split in half.

I find the split peas to tast much like regular fresh peas, and lentils...hmmm, well....more like other beans, I guess. hard to describe!! I can't keep up with all the posts here (not that I am complaining, mind you!) so I am not sure if it has been posted, but I like barley and lentils together; makes a great soup! I also use lentils in my chili pot, along with kidney beans. The lentils cook in much less time than the kidneys, but I throw them in the pot together (same time). That way the lentils get soft and bust open, and give the " filler " that ground beef would have given to a pot of meat chilli.
