VEGETARIAN SLOW COOKER SPLIT PEA SOUP



Vegetarian Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup image

Got this recipe online a couple years ago. I've tweaked it a little bit and will probably continue to experiment by throwing other vegetables in. It's a great soup for a cold day when I know I won't have time to cook dinner. I usually make a batch and freeze what we don't eat. It tastes the same when reheated after the freezer, but the texture does change slightly. Lasts a few days in the fridge as well.

YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP--VEGETARIAN/VEGAN



Yellow Split Pea Soup--Vegetarian/Vegan image

This is from a veg cookbook purchased on the checkout lane at the grocery store but I'm not sure which. It is a lovely soup, and it gets better over a day or so. The ingredient list appears lengthy, but it is largely due to the yummy combination of spices. The original recipe calls for a combination of any veggies as long as you reach 4 cups (or a 16 oz bag of frozen veggies). I list specific veggies here as they are the ones recommended in the recipe.

Provided by smellyvegetarian

Categories     Vegan

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup yellow split peas (dry)
1 cup green beans
1 cup cauliflower
1 cup broccoli
1 cup carrot
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • In a medium pan bring water and salt to a boil; add split peas and return to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 45 minutes or until tender. Do not drain.
  • Meanwhile, steam vegetables until crisp tender.
  • In a small skillet, cook curry powder, cumin, turmeric, ginger, and red pepper in hot oil for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • In a food processor or blender combine the undrained split peas and the spice mixture. Process until combined. If too thick, add water or warm broth. Transfer back to the medium saucepan and stir in the steamed vegetables. Heat through and serve.
  • FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH--I highly recommend just leaving the split peas in the pan, adding spices, and using an immersion blender! Much simpler, and fewer dishes to wash :).

THAI TWIST SLOW COOKER VEGETARIAN SPLIT PEA SOUP



Thai Twist Slow Cooker Vegetarian Split Pea Soup image

Some days you just need a slow cooker meal...! Love soups and was looking for something a little different. If you have an open jar or packet of thai curry paste in your fridge, and you like the flavour of it, this is another way to enjoy it. Most of the items are pantry staples, which is how this came to be, and it's fairly low calorie/low fat. I made it to fit a small crock pot (2.5 Q I think)....yields enough for 2 good sized portions. If you use a larger crock pot you would probably have to double the recipe. Some flat bread on the side makes it a meal.

Categories     Easy

Time 4h15m

Yield 3 1/2 cups, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 carrot, diced
1/2 cup split peas, green, dried
1/4 cup pearl barley
1/4 cup red lentil, dried
2 teaspoons Braggs liquid aminos
1 teaspoon garlic, minced, use fresh or garlic powder, it won't matter much
2 teaspoons Thai curry paste
2 cups vegetable stock, or use 1 bouillon cube or equivelant stock powder
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves
1 bay leaf
2 fresh lime leaves, dried
1/4 cup light coconut milk

Steps:

  • Add the items to your slow cooker and stir.
  • In the small cooker it only took 4 hours on high, which could easily be stretched out to 8 hours on low. Keep an eye on the water content -- it may need more water or broth added depending on your cooker.

PEA SOUP WITH BUTTER DUMPLINGS (FROM THE VEGETARIAN EPICURE)



PEA SOUP WITH BUTTER DUMPLINGS (FROM THE VEGETARIAN EPICURE) image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Vegetable

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 14

Soup:
4 cups shelled peas (about 4 lbs fresh unshelled)
4.5 cups water
1 tsp brown sugar
salt and pepper
1/2 c light Rhine wine
4.5 Tbs butter
4.5 Tbs flour
Dumplings:
6 Tbs butter
2 eggs
1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp nutmeg
salt

Steps:

  • Soup: Cook the peas in the water and sugar until they are quite soft, about 1/2 hour. Then press the soup through a sieve or put it in the blender for a few moments. Season this thin puree with salt and pepper and stir in the wine. Melt the butter in the skillet and stir in the flour. Le the roux cook over a very low flame for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Then stir in a cup or two of the soup and whisk until smooth. Return the thickened soup to the rest and blend well. Dumplings: To make the batter, soften the butter as much as possible, short of melting it. Beat the eggs with the flour and beat in the butter. Season with salt and nutmeg. Drop the batter into gently boiling soup by half-teaspoons. When the dumplings have risen to the top, they need 5 more minutes before they are done.

VEGETARIAN SPLIT PEA SOUP



Vegetarian Split Pea Soup image

This recipe comes from the R.S.V.P. section of a November 1989 issue of Bon Appetit. It was requested from "What's Cooking", a restaurant on 41st Street in New York City. It's thick and hearty, accented with cumin. I've added a peeled and diced potato in with the other veggies to make it a little heartier meal for dinner. I usually run my immersion blender through this to get a little smoother consistancy.It's great served with a good corn bread!
