CURRIED SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH FRESH CORIANDER (CILANTRO)
I developed this recipe through years of experimentation. It was based on a cheap dish that a former roommate showed me to make. He said that it litterally cost pennies a bowl. He just boiled a bag of yellow split peas and added spicy curry powder until the taste was right. I needed a little bit more of a fragrant flavour. It's still inexpensive to make and good to freeze. You can top it with some sour cream and/or avocado before serving to mellow the spice.

Steps:
- In a large pot on low heat, warm olive oil with the spices (chili flakes, cumin, curry, corriander, onion powder).
- Stir to form paste. DO NOT let the mixture burn!
- Add onions, shallots, green onion and garlic. Mix so that nothing burns. This will take maybe five minutes.
- Add half of the chopped corriander.
- Rinse split peas in cold water, drain and add to pot. Stir immediately.
- Turn heat to high.
- Add the water and stir well.
- Cover, bring to a boil for 10 minutes then turn heat to medium-low for another 50 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
- Add the rest of the cilantro in the last 15 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve or pack away for freezing.
