Yellow Submarine Soup recipe

[Guest guest]

Ok here we go. Another of my favorite old recipes.

More hippie food as we go along. This is good cooked

in the crockpot or on the stove. I had to name it the

first time I saw the outcome. It's a warm the bones

hearty soup.

 

Yellow Submarine Soup

 

2 onions, coarsely chopped

4 garlic cloves, crushed

2 cups yellow split peas

1/2 tsp. thyme (dried)

1 tsp. oregano (dried)

1 tsp. salt (use salt to taste when soup is done)

1/4 tsp. cumin

1 tsp. pepper

1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

6 1/2 cups vegetable broth

 

If making on the stove then saute the onion and garlic

 

for a few minutes in a tablepoon ofolive oil until

tender firm. Add other ingredients and bring to a

boil, reduce heat to a low simmer and cover pan. Cook

for 50 minutes, soup will be a nice rich thick soup.

Salt to taste.

If using the crockpot I place everything in the

crockpot and let cook for hours on high and turn temp.

to low for the last 1 or 2 hrs.

 

 

 

 

One thing I can tell you

is you got to be free.

Black, white, green, red,

can I take my friend to bed?

You better get yourself *together*, darling,

and join the human race.

HA! NOW I know why it's called " Yellow Submarine Soup " ! I thought it was just a

kind of nostalgic shout out to the '60's and Beatles and such! Silly me! I love

the idea of the little baby yellow squashes as the " submarines " , even though I'm

not super-crazy for yellow summer squash, it's something I do eat now and then.

Fun to put the little ones in it--if I can find them anywhere or--hope, hope,

hope!--can get a bush of them growing HERE!

 

Thanks again for posting the recipe!

 

Enjoying sunny skies and blustery winds here today!
