California Pizza Kitchen's Dakota Smashed Pea & Barley Soup image

From topsecretrecipes.com I've never even tried the soup at the California Pizza Kitchen, but it sounds good. I'm posting it as much for my reference as anyone elses! ;) Vegetable broth may be substituted for the chicken broth to make this soup vegan.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups split peas
6 cups water
4 cups chicken broth (or 2 14.5 oz. cans)
1/3 cup onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon parsley
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon thyme
1/2 cup barley
6 cups water
2 medium carrots, diced (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup celery, diced
snipped green onion, for garnish

Steps:

  • Rinse and sort the split peas.
  • Add them to a large pot with 6 cups of water, chicken broth, onion, garlic, lemon juice, salt, sugar, parsley, pepper, and thyme.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1-1 1/2 hours or until the peas are soft.
  • While the peas are cooking, combine the barley with 6 cups of water in a saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1-1 1/2 hours or until the barley is soft and most of the water has been absorbed.
  • When the split pea mixture has become a thick soup, use a handheld blender to puree the peas until the mixture is smooth.
  • A standard blender or food processor may also be used to puree the soup in batches.
  • This step may also be omitted.
  • Drain the the remaining water from the barley and add the barley to the split pea mixture.
  • Add the carrots and celery and continue to simmer the soup for 15 to 30 minutes or until the carrots are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Turn off the heat, cover the soup, and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish each serving with the snipped green onion.

I'm allergic to peas, so I used carrots instead. It was still delicious!

I didn't have any barley, so I used rice instead. It turned out great!

The soup was a bit too thick for my liking. I would add more water or broth next time.

This soup is a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more herbs and spices next time.
