Yellow Split Pea Soup (Vegan, Gluten-Free, Nut-Free, Soy-Free) PDF Print E-mail

Foods Matter, October 2007 - (Wheat, gluten, corn, soya, nightshade, dairy & nut free) - The excellent flavour of this soup depends on the really long, slow cooking of the onions - so be generous with your time if nothing else.

Split Pea SoupIngredients: 

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 level tsp ground cumin
  • 1 level tsp ground coriander
  • 2 medium onions, very finely sliced
  • I medium carrot, very finely grated
  • 10ozs yellow split peas
  • 8 cups gluten and wheat-free vegetable stock
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil in a heavy pan and add the cumin and coriander.
Cook gently for 2-3 minutes then add the onions and carrot and continue to cook very gently, uncovered, stirring regularly, for 45-60 minutes. Make sure they do not burn.
Add the split peas and the stock, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black
pepper, add extra stock if it is too thick and serve.

I find that yellow split peas take longer than three hours cooking to become soft. Is that normal?

I have had that trouble at times too with certain beans. From what I have read 1 to 1.5 hours is the norm for yellow split peas, but I could see it varying.

The Moosewood Cookbook says to simmer yellow split peas for three hours and I find that to be right. I always start the peas cooking before I do any other prep--then it doesn't seem so long. Yellow split peas cooked with less water and siced up make great spicy bundles cooked inside in phyllo wrap parcels.
