Split Pea & Cumin Soup

[Guest guest]

This recipe was on the back of a packet of split peas my mother

bought.

Diana, also in Australia

 

Split Pea & Cumin Soup

 

1 Tbs oil

1 medium onion (finely chopped)

1 ½ cups yellow split peas (rinsed)

4 cups water

10grams vegetable stock cube

1 large potato (diced)

1 large carrot (diced)

1 cup celery (diced)

1 tsp cumin

½ tsp salt

2 cups water (extra)

 

Heat oil in a large saucepan, add onion, saute until soft. Add yellow

split peas, water & stock cube. Cover, simmer in a large saucepan for

40 minutes stirring occassionally, until peas are soft. Add remaining

ingredients. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until vegetables

are tender.

 

Serves 6.

* A bit of pepper (white or black) added to this makes it even

better. I like to use a little more cumin – closer to 2 tsp!
