Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons EVOO, plus some for drizzling
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Salt and freshly ground pepper
6 to 8 cups chicken, or vegetable stock, or a combo of both
2 cups green split peas
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1 lemon, juiced
Naan, pita or flatbread
Olive oil spray
Salt
Dried oregano
Greek feta cheese crumbles, for garnish
Cumin, for garnish
Paprika, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the soup: Heat the EVOO in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the stock and peas, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until just tender, 20 minutes. Remove half the soup and puree with the mint and parsley until smooth in a food processor or high powered blender. Return the puree to the pot, and stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal.
  • For the flatbread: Arrange the flatbread on a wire rack over a baking sheet, spray with the olive oil on both sides and season with salt and oregano. Roast in the oven to toasted and crisp. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
  • Reheat the soup over medium heat. Serve the soup garnished with feta crumbles and a light sprinkle of cumin and paprika, a drizzle of EVOO and flatbread chips.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better. I would also recommend adding some fresh herbs, like parsley or cilantro, to brighten up the flavor.

This soup was okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I'm not a huge fan of split pea soup, but this recipe was actually really good! The lemon added a nice brightness to the soup and the dill was a nice touch. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

This was a delicious and easy-to-make soup. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

This soup was a bit too lemony for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a good soup and I would recommend it to others.
