It’s starting to get cool out, so you know what that means! SOUP!
I love a bowl of soup in the fall or winter, and split pea is a crowd pleasing (though not horribly photogenic) star in my house.
Ingredients
2 pounds dried split peas
1 large onion, diced
6 carrots, peeled and sliced or 1 bag baby carrots
8 cups vegetable broth
2 cups non-dairy milk (or 2 more cups broth or water)
1 T liquid smoke
2 T olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
optional seasonings: 1/2 cup fresh chopped kale, 1/3 cup chopped basil, 4 minced garlic cloves
Process
If you have the time, you can sauté the onions and garlic until soft or caramelized and go from there. If not (as I did not last night), you can just throw it all in with the beans.
Add beans and sautéed or raw vegetables and remainder of ingredients except salt, pepper, and non-dairy milk to pressure cooker. Bring to high pressure. Cook for 10-12 minutes and then remove from burner to allow to naturally depressurize.
Pour in the non-dairy milk and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with fresh bread, salad, or fruit. Yummy.
