"This is really just a combination of a couple of different recipes. I made this for my husband last year when he got swine flu. We both ate it. He got over the flu in just three days and I managed to avoid getting sick."

1 lb split peas (yellow or green)
4 cups strongly flavored vegetable stock

1 tablespoon ginger
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon paprika
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cayenne pepper

directions

Wash and sort the split peas.
Place the split peas, water, vegetable stock, 1 garlic clove, 1/2 the yellow or red bell pepper, 1/2 the onion, 1 stalk celery, 1/4 cup carrot, 1/2 the ginger, 1/2 the paprika, the cayenne pepper, and 1/2 the curry powder in a crock pot.
Cook until the split peas are soft (about 3 to 4 hours on high, about 6 hours on low).
In a heavy bottomed pot place the olive oil. Saute the remaining onion and second clove of garlic until translucent.
Add the remaining vegetables and saute until crisp tender, about 3 minutes.

Puree the soup in a food processor until smooth (optional).
