You may find both green split peas and yellow split peas, either of which will work fine for this recipe. You’ll find them in the dry bean aisle, right next to bags of other types of dry beans. The current batch is still simmering now 4.5 hours later a lot has broken down and the soup got very thick but some peas are still hard and crunchy and doesn’t seem done yet. :) What are Split Peas Split peas are just what they sound like, green peas that have been dried and split in half. I keep the simmer when uncovered with some bubbles but not too many or it bubbles out of the pot and when I put the lid on I turn it down to the lowest setting. This vegan split pea soup is made with tender split peas and fresh vegetables and is the perfect cozy recipe for chilly days. It helps to use parchment paper to line the loaf pan, making it easier to remove the loaf using the overhanging paper. Once everything is mixed, pack the lentil mixture into a 9 x 5 loaf pan. I followed your recipe exact and after an hour when the peas are still crunchy I thought ok maybe put the lid on and the extra steam will help soften them faster but then that somehow seems to cause the bottom to burn. Add the lentils to the sauteed veggie mixture along with the oats, flour and flax egg. So Im wondering if my current stove simmer is not great for soups. Hi thanks for this recipe! I made this once before that when I lived elsewhere and it turned out perfect but the last two times I’ve made it Im having issues like Dyno’s friend in the comment above that the peas are still crunchy even cooking for hours longer. Plus, one pot feeds a crowd or covers dinner for two for half of a week. I save time by waiting to dice the carrots and potato until the onion is working away in the pot. You’ll taste the difference in the final product. Now, I totally get, in addition to a 45 minute simmer time for the peas, fifteen minutes is a long time to sauté an onion – but I implore you not to rush this step. A sprinkle of dried oregano and a bay leaf – besides salt and pepper – are the sole seasonings, while a low and slow sauté of a whole diced onion and two garlic cloves build depth of flavor.
This is a classic split pea soup recipe, adapted from Ina Garten’s Parker’s Split Pea Soup, with heaps of peas simmering alongside red potatoes and carrots.
It’s cool though, more Perfect Pea Soup for me. I’d attribute my love for peas to my Scottish heritage, but my sister is not a fan – and we shared a womb – soooo… nevermind. Mushy peas at Thanksgiving, smashed peas on crostini, frozen peas in a stir fry, and especially peas in soup.
