Split Pea Soup (vegan)
serves 4
cook organic!
1.5 cups dried split peas, rinsed and picked through
.75 pound Russet potatoes, skin on, 1/2 inch pieces (the skin provides more fiber! but make sure to scrub any dirt off)
3 large carrots, 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium onion, 1/2 inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
sea salt, fresh ground pepper
1. In a large pot, combine split peas, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, thyme, and 2 quarts of water. Â
2. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer.
3. Cover partially and stir occasionally for 1 hour. I like to use a hand blender to achieve a smoother, but still slightly chunky consistency.
4. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste!
