GOLDEN YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP (CROCKPOT / SLOW COOKER)



Golden Yellow Split Pea Soup (Crockpot / Slow Cooker) image

I modified this from a Food and Wine recipe--and I think it is a keeper! We like to have it with grilled ham and cheese (or just cheese for Lent). I especially like this as the seasoning is a little different and makes a nice change from our usual split pea and ham soup.

JAMAICAN GOLDEN SPLIT PEA SOUP

A wonderful, simple soup, which can easily be made vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken broth. I like to garnish with a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley. Beer is an excellent accompaniment to this soup.

Moosewood Golden Split Pea and Sweet Potato Soup image

I wanted to save this before I tried it. It is a bit different from the other Moosewood Golden Split Pea Sweet Potato Soup already posted on Zaar. This came from a January 1992 Bon Appetit article on the Moosewood Restaurant.

GOLDEN SPLIT PEA SOUP



Golden Split Pea Soup image

This is from my Low-Fat Moosewood cookbook. Your house will smell like an Indian restaurant! The soup is a beautiful dark gold color. Don't use green or brown lentils, it just won't be the same. This makes a lot, but you can freeze it. Even my one year old loves this! Serve topped with plain yogurt and chopped cilantro. Pass pita bread.

Categories     Lentil

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups chopped onions
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 cup dried yellow split peas
7 cups water
2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup apple, peeled, cored and cubed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons chili powder
3/4 cup chopped tomato
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • In a soup pot, sauté the onions in the oil for about 8 minutes, until golden, stirring frequently.
  • Add the cumin, turmeric, coriander and ginger and cook for another minute.
  • Add the split peas, water, sweet potatoes, apples, cinnamon, and chili powder, cover and bring to a boil.
  • Lower the heat and simmer for 40 minutes, or until the split peas are tender.
  • In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, lime juice and soy sauce.
  • When the split peas are tender, add the tomato mixture.
  • Puree the soup in a blender (in batches) or with a stick blender, adding more water if needed.

Tips:

  • Soak the split peas: This helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. You can soak them overnight in cold water, or for at least 30 minutes in hot water.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and nutrients to your soup. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, leeks, and potatoes.
  • Add some herbs and spices: This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good choices include thyme, rosemary, sage, bay leaves, and black pepper.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The split peas should be tender, but not mushy. Overcooked soup can also lose its flavor.
  • Serve with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream: This will add a creamy richness to the soup.

Conclusion:

Golden split pea soup is a delicious, hearty, and nutritious soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very easy soup to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give golden split pea soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
