Savory Split Pea Soup
Ingredients
2 cloves garlic
1 yellow onion
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
3 stalks celery
1 tablespoon dried parsley
Pinch rosemary
1 tablespoon olive oil
Water
1 tablespoon vegan bouillon mix
2 cups dry green split peas
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Fresh basil makes this split pea soup an absolutely to die for dish.
1. Thinly slice the garlic, onion, basil, celery. In a deep and large pot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and fry the chopped vegetables on medium-high heat until softened and the onions are translucent and starting to brown.
2. Add water to your pot, filling to the top. Set the heat to high, dissolve bouillon and add the split peas, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat to medium, cover, and wait, stirring occasionally. It will take about 1 hour or more to cook down, but patience is a virtue...especially since this soup is so good and simple. Give it a good stir with a whisk once the peas are mushy; this will make the soup creamy without making a mess with the blender.
If you like a thicker soup, let it boil down longer until the desired consistency is reached. If you like a thinner soup, feel free to add water when you notice it becoming too thick.
