Ingredients
- 2 cups green split peas
- 1 rib celery, coarsely chopped (single piece from a stalk)
- 1 large carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1 small onion, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 1 bay leaf, crumbled into very small pieces
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sort the peas in a mesh strainer, removing any stones or impurities. Rinse them clean.
- Combine the peas, celery, carrot, onion, thyme, bay leaf and cayenne in a soup pot and cover with 2 quarts (8 cups) of water.
- Bring the pot to a boil. Keep at a high simmer for 20 minutes.
- Reduce heat to a low simmer. Let the mixture cook for another 25-30 minutes till the peas are completely tender. Towards the end of cooking, add the seasoned salt, then add salt and pepper to taste. I use about 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp of pepper. Use less if you're sodium-sensitive.
- Process the pea mixture through a food mill or a fine mesh sieve. A food mill will create the smoothest, creamiest texture.
- Process the pea mixture until all of the liquid is pushed through, and only pulp remains.
- A creamy soup will result.
- Bring the soup to a quick boil once more on the stovetop, then remove from heat immediately. If the soup seems too thick, add some hot water to thin it out to the desired consistency.
- Serve hot. I like to garnish the soup with a few breadcrumbs. Omit them to keep the soup gluten free and vegan. Keep leftover soup in a sealed tupperware. When the soup is chilled, it will solidify. Adding a little water and stirring as you reheat will help the soup to heat up more smoothly.
Notes
- You will also need: Soup pot. mesh strainer, food mill
