SMOKY SPLIT PEA AND ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP
wonderful split pea soup. not sure where the recipe came from, i have had it for years and subscribe to many cooking publications and own way too many cookbooks. i usually make it with a ham bone but is just as good with smoked turkey wings. when i really want to ham it up i brown a center cut slice in pan before i begin, remove from pan and cut into pieces and add last 30 minutes.

SMOKY SPLIT PEA SOUP
Split pea soup recipes are often flavored with ham hocks, but this veg version gets its smoky taste from smoked paprika and chipotle chiles. Sweet potatoes and split peas are good sources of potassium, which lowers blood pressure. If split peas are old(after about 1-2 years) they will not get tender, so check the date. Adapted from Vegetarian Times magazine(Feb. 2010).

Steps:
- Soak split peas in large bowl of cold water overnight(some reviewers said they boiled the peas for 30 or 40 minutes rather than soaking and it worked fine).
- Heat oil in 3-qt. saucepan over medium heat. Add paprika, chipotle, and cumin if using, and stir. Add sweet potato(or squash), onions, and celery, and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Cover, and cook 10 minutes, or until onions are soft and translucent. Add garlic, and sauté 2 minutes.
- Drain split peas, and add to pot with 6 cups water(I use about 4 cups vegetable stock and 2 cups water). Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 1 hour. Add tomatoes, and cook 30 minutes more, or until split peas are tender.
Tips:
- Soak the split peas overnight before cooking them. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your soup. This will add flavor and nutrients.
- Add smoked paprika or liquid smoke to the soup for a smoky flavor.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the soup hot with a side of bread or salad.

Smoky split pea soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its smoky flavor and variety of vegetables, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
