Ingredients Galore!
Alright, grab your grocery bags because here’s what you’ll need to whip up this magnificent soup:
- 1 cup dried split peas (green or yellow, your call!)
- 1 medium onion, chopped finely
- 2 carrots, diced (the more colorful the better!)
- 2 celery stalks, chopped (because moisture is key!)
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced (bring on the flavor!)
- 6 cups vegetable broth (or water if you’re feeling adventurous!)
- 1 teaspoon thyme (a herb to make you feel fancy)
- 2 bay leaves (no, not the kind you bring home from a date)
- Salt and pepper to taste (just a pinch of love)
- Optional: a splash of lemon juice for that zing!
Instructions for Splendid Soupiness!
Now that we have our ingredients lined up like little soldiers, it’s time to get into action. Here’s how you do it:
- Rinse those split peas under some water—let’s clean up the party mess!
- In a large pot, sauté the onion, carrots, and celery over medium heat until they start to feel soft and friendly, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the garlic and let it cook for an additional minute, until you can smell it from the other room—yum!
- Pour in the vegetable broth, toss in those lovely split peas, add thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir it around, like you’re mixing up a magical potion!
- Bring everything to a boil and then reduce the heat to low, letting it simmer for about 30 minutes or until the peas are mushy and loving.
- Remove the bay leaves (say goodbye!) and blend the soup if you want a creamy texture, or leave it chunky for the rustic vibes.
- Finish with a splash of lemon juice, and voilà! Your soup is ready to be devoured.
Serve hot, maybe with some crusty bread, and prepare to impress everyone with your culinary skills. Enjoy your Vegan Split Pea Soup and don’t forget to wear your soup-savoring face!
