VEGAN SPLIT PEA SOUP I



Vegan Split Pea Soup I image

This makes a very thick vegetarian split pea soup. To make it thinner, reduce the amount of split peas or add more water. Depending on the density of split peas, it may take a while for the vegetables and peas to soften, but you can't really overcook this soup; just stir occasionally, and add water if it gets too dry. Seasonings can be altered to taste. Tastes even better reheated.

Provided by Alison Andrews

Categories     Appetizer     Soup

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Medium Onion (White, Yellow or Brown, Chopped)
1 teaspoon Crushed Garlic
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Oregano
2 cups Dried Green Split Peas ((450g))
2 Large Carrots (Chopped)
2 Large Potatoes (Peeled and chopped)

Black Pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Add the chopped onion and crushed garlic to a pot with the olive oil and oregano. Sauté until softened.

  • Bring to the boil and then cover and turn the heat down to a simmer. Simmer for around 45 minutes, stirring now and again (be careful it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot) until everything is soft and cooked. It will become very thick, like a very thick stew.

  • When blended it will be very thick and smooth. Now add in the coconut milk and stir in.
  • Add sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Serve with chopped spring onions to garnish and bread for dipping.

CREAMY VEGAN SPLIT PEA SOUP



Creamy Vegan Split Pea Soup image

To me, this soup is ultimate cold-weather comfort food. The tahini and Bragg's add amazing depth of flavor. It makes a big batch and freezes wonderfully. Be sure to serve with a generous stack of wholewheat bread, and a green salad if you like.

Provided by White Rose Child

Categories     Beans

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 cups water
1 1/2 cups yellow split peas
2 onions, chopped
1 head broccoli, coarsely chopped
3 carrots, sliced
2 zucchini, sliced (peel if desired)
1/2 cup tahini
3 -4 tablespoons Braggs liquid aminos
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • In a large pot, combine 6 cups of the water and split peas and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Stir occasionally so they don't stick on the bottom.
  • Add the vegetables and simmer another 30-45 minutes, until the peas are very soft (depends on the age of the peas).
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining 1 cup of water with the tahini and the remaining engredients. If your tahini is quite thick, do this in the food processor or blender, much easier. Stir the tahini mixture into the soup and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup dried split peas
