Yellow Split Pea Soup
This is a beautiful thick soup just right for winter, I used 2 packets of different peas and lentils the vegetables are your choice. You could use cauliflour, broccoli zuccini.
Ingredients
- 1 packet yellow split peas
- 1 packet red lentils
- carrots
- pumpkin
- potatoes
- celery
- 2 litres chicken stock either bought or home made
- water
- salt and pepper
Method
- soak peas and lentils in a large pot, preferably over night, next morning strain off the liquid and rinse, place peas and lentils back in pot
- cover with the chicken stock and add extra water as the peas will thicken
- add all your chopped vegetables
- season with salt and pepper, I also added a bit of curry powder
- cook over medium heat stirring often so the soup doesnt stick then lower heat till vegetables are cooked, add more water if it is too thick
- use a blender stick or vitamiser to liquify till fairly smooth
- season to taste again
- serve with a dollop of sour cream
- leftovers can be frozen , I got 9 takeaway containers from this batch, enough for 2 people in each one
