Split Pea Soup With Sherry image

This is based on a recipe from drfuhrman.com. It is a delicious split pea soup with some extras that give the flavor an interesting twist. I simplified the instructions to make it easier to prepare.....For each can of low sodium broth, I substitute 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon VegiZest (from drfuhrman.com) and 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)......You can reduce prep time by using frozen or pre-chopped vegetables and jarred garlic.

1 lb dried split peas
4 (15 ounce) cans low sodium vegetable broth

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 medium onion, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
3 medium carrots, chopped
1 cup mushroom, chopped

Steps:

  • Chop onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms and garlic and set aside.
  • Rinse split peas. In a large soup pot (at least 7 quarts), combine peas, broth, bay leaf, thyme and cumin. Bring to boiling, stirring frequently and watching carefully so it doesn't boil over. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • When peas have cooked for 1 hour, stir in chopped vegetables.
  • Return soup to boiling, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes more or until vegetables are tender.
  • Discard bay leaf.
