Curried Split Pea Soup image

I saw this recipe when I watched Alton Brown on Food Network. I changed the recipe a bit to make it vegan (original included chicken broth and butter).

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup onion, chopped
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
12 ounces split peas
5 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon curry powder

Steps:

  • Put the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt and sweat for 2 to 3 minutes. Next, add the garlic and continue to sweat for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, making certain not to allow onions or garlic to brown.
  • Add the peas, vegetable broth and curry powder. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook at a simmer until the peas are tender and not holding their shape any longer, approximately 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Using care and a stick blender, puree the soup until the desired consistency. Watch out for hot splatters.
  • Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2005.
