directions

  • Heat the oil in a saucepan over low heat. Add the carrot, celery, onion and thyme, season lightly with pepper and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Add the stock and split peas, and bring to a boil quickly over high heat.
  • Lower the heat and simmer until the peas are tender, about 1 hour.
  • Puree 2/3 of the soup in a blender and stir it into the remaining 1/3.
  • If the soup is too thick, thin it by adding a little more stock. Raise the heat and bring the soup to a boil for 15 seconds.
  • Add salt and additional pepper to taste.

  1. I love this recipe. I have made it many times. It is so much better with homemade vegetable broth. I use this recipe. http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/vegetable-broth-415950
     
  2. Love veggie pea soup. Some variations in my kitchen:<br/>Fresh thyme, shallots, garlic, dash of liquid smoke and a butter roux before blending with my immersion blender. <br/>Sinfully good with a loaf of crusty bread.
     
  3. Very tasty and simple to make! Perfect for vegetarians and easy to adapt as needed.
     
  4. So simple and so delicious! I added a diced potato to mine, and at the end of the cooking time I pureed the whole thing using an immersion blender in order to get the thickness that I like. Along with some warm, crusty bread and a side salad, this soup makes a hearty, filling, and nutritious meal. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks for sharing!
     
  5. Good to have a vegetarian version of this soup. Very easy to make. After one hour simmering the soup was thick and mushy. Did not blend it, mushy enough! We like pea soup to be thick and I did not thin it but after eating it we decided that next time I make it it would be better to thin it a bit. I added 1/3 cup of finely chopped parsnip and 1 tsp salt. It was a warming and hearty soup. Thanks for posting.
