Best 3 Cypriot Split Pea Soup Louvana Gluten Free Vegan Recipes
VEGAN SPLIT PEA SOUP I
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.

CYPRIOT SPLIT PEA SOUP (LOUVANA) (GLUTEN FREE & VEGAN)
This is delicious with a side of fresh salad (baby romaine topped with gourmet black olives & goat milk feta cheese) for a lovely light meal. This is even good without the potatoes, I sometimes add more water in as well. From the Complete Middle East Cookbook by Tess Mallos.

Steps:
- Pick over split peas, discarding any that are discoloured. Wash in several changes of cold water.
- Place in a deep pan and add the amount of water stated.
- Put on medium heat and bring to a boil, skimming when necessary. When boiling reduce heat to low and cover pot and simmer gently for one hour without stirring.
- Peel potatoes and cut into small dice leave in some cold water on the side so they do not dicolour.
- In a small pan fry onion in olive oil until lightly flecked with brown.
- Add potatoes, onion and oil to split peas. Cover and simmer for a further hour or until peas and potatoes are very soft. Do not stir during cooking as this can cause scorching.
- When cooked stir in sea salt to taste and puree. (I use a blender).
- Serve in deep plates with lemon wedges to be squeezed to individual taste. Additional olive oil is often drizzled onto the puree. Serve with a side of fresh salad topped with gourmet black olives & feta for a lovely light meal.
- Enjoy!
RACHEL'S SPECIAL EASY SPLIT PEA SOUP (VEGAN)
Feel free to use 1 cup split green peas to be more traditional; what makes my soup special is the mix of the two peas. This soup is dense and hearty (but also vegan and healthy!) and I made it up using some ideas from other vegan soups I like and because most split pea soups I tried had a nice "starter" but bad aftertaste to me (I think namely from the use of cream or a slimier broth; this one's totally vegan.) So you don't have to feel guilty if you wanna make a meal out of this soup! :) This is year-round vegan comfort food at its best. And it's so easy to make but tastes complex!! (Especially if it's a 32-oz jug of veggie stock-- you can just dump the whole thing in, you don't even have to measure it.)
