Steps:
- Stovetop method: Soak the peas in water to cover overnight. Drain and rinse. Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a medium pot. Add soaked peas, sweet potato slices and cardamom pods. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer for an hour. Heat ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, garam masala and cumin and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often. When sweet potatoes and peas are tender, add the spiced onions to the pot. Stir and cook 5 minutes more. Remove cardamom pods and season the soup with lemon, cayenne, salt, and pepper to taste. Slow cooker method: Place peas, broth, sweet potato and cardamom pods in a slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours, adding additional broth or water to thicken if needed. When ready to serve, heat ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, garam masala and cumin and cook 10 minutes, stirring often. Add the spiced onions to the slow cooker. Stir, cover and cook 15 minutes longer on high heat. Remove cardamom pods and season the soup with lemon, cayenne and pepper.
Tips:
- Use a variety of sweet potatoes. Different types of sweet potatoes have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture.
- Roast the sweet potatoes before adding them to the soup. Roasting the sweet potatoes will caramelize their natural sugars, giving the soup a richer flavor.
- Use vegetable broth instead of water. Vegetable broth will add more flavor to the soup.
- Add a bay leaf to the soup. A bay leaf will add a subtle, earthy flavor to the soup.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream. This will add a creamy richness to the soup.
