Green Split Pea and Vegetable Soup
Introduction
Warm up with this hearty Green Split Pea and Vegetable Soup, featuring Heera Green Split Peas. Rated at a complexity level of 2, this soup is a perfect blend of nourishing legumes and vegetables, creating a comforting and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dried green split peas, rinsed and sorted
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 green chili, chopped, optional
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 1 zucchini, chopped (optional)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
- Rinse the green split peas in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear.
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and green chili (if using) and cook for another minute.
- Add the carrots, celery, and zucchini (if using) and cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Stir in the vegetable broth, water, turmeric powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the green split peas are tender.
- Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro and parsley.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, and serve hot.
Tips:
- For a richer flavour, you can use whole spices instead of ground spices. Toast the cumin seeds, coriander seeds, turmeric powder, and red chili powder in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, then grind them together. For a spicier soup, add more green chilies or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- To add a touch of creaminess, stir in a dollop of yogurt or sour cream before serving.
- For a healthier option, use low-sodium vegetable broth.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve Green Split Pea and Vegetable Soup with warm naan bread or roti.
- For a more flavourful dish, add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream to each serving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions.
Variations:
- Add a handful of chopped spinach or kale to the soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- For a heartier soup, add cooked chickpeas, lentils, or potatoes to the soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- If you don't have a pot large enough to hold all of the ingredients, you can divide the mixture between two pots.
- This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated in a saucepan or microwave.
