I wanted to save this before I tried it. It is a bit different from the other Moosewood Golden Split Pea Sweet Potato Soup already posted on Zaar. This came from a January 1992 Bon Appetit article on the Moosewood Restaurant.

YELLOW SPLIT-PEA SOUP WITH SWEET POTATOES AND KALE



Yellow Split-Pea Soup With Sweet Potatoes and Kale image

This recipe is adapted from one I found years ago on the Fat Free Vegan blog. I've made it many times, and it freezes well. The mustard seeds are a key part of the recipe. I usually double the garlic and ginger, especially if I have a cold. It's very filling and satisfying because it's so thick and hearty. Naan bread is a perfect accompaniment. Can also be served over basmati (or your favorite) rice.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
2 medium onions, chopped (yellow or white)
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons ginger paste or 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons garlic, finely minced

YELLOW SPLIT-PEA SOUP WITH SWEET POTATOES AND KALE



YELLOW SPLIT-PEA SOUP WITH SWEET POTATOES AND KALE image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Bean     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Healthy

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients
2 medium onions, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons whole cumin
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon canola oil (necessary for tempering the spices)
2 teaspoons ginger paste or 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
8 cups water
3 cups dried yellow split peas, picked over and rinsed
1-2 tablespoons mild curry powder (to taste)
Salt to taste (optional)
1 bunch kale

Steps:

  • Spray a large pressure cooker or pot with cooking spray and sauté the onions for about 5 minutes. When they are becoming translucent, push them to one side and pour the cumin and mustard seeds directly onto the bottom of the pot. Pour the canola oil over the seeds and stir them lightly. As soon as the seeds begin to pop, mix them in with the onions. Add the ginger and garlic, and cook for one more minute. Add the sweet potatoes, water, split peas and 1 tablespoon curry powder. Stir well. If using a pressure cooker, seal the cooker and bring it up to high pressure. Cook at high pressure for 8 minutes; then remove from the heat and allow the pressure to come down naturally. If you're cooking it in a regular pot, cover the pot and simmer until the split peas are tender and beginning to break down, about an hour. Stir regularly to make sure that the split peas don't stick to the bottom of the pan, and add water if necessary. While the soup is cooking, wash the kale and remove and discard the tough central rib. Chop the leaves coarsely. When the split peas are cooked, add the kale to the pot, season to taste with salt and additional curry powder, if necessary, and add additional water if the soup is too thick. Cover the pot. For kale that retains some crunch, simply leave the pot covered for 5 or 10 minutes without heating, allowing the kale to cook in the heat of the soup. For kale that is more tender, you may return the pot to low heat for 10 minutes.
