Split Pea Soup (Moosewood Cook Book Recipe-Adapted)

[Guest guest]

-Mary,

I tried this and it is excellent. I didn't have the exact recipe but

I did try all the ingredients together and they work. I agree with

you the red wine vinegar makes this recipe very tasty. The sesame

seed oil 'drizzle' also works.

This is how I made the soup

 

I chopped one carrot, one small onion, 1 celery stalk and crushed 3

cloves of garlic.

Sauteed the veggies in a small amt. of sesame oil until they were

tender .(low heat do not brown.)

Added the pre-cooked split pea soup that I had made the day before.

Added a pinch of sea salt and ground black pepper

Added apx. 1 Tab.of red wine vinegar. Simmered until heated .

Drizzled 1 Teas. of sesame seed oil on top.

 

Yummmy !
