Pea Soup

Ingredients

  • 3 cups split peas {I used both yellow & green} rinse well and let soak in a bowl of salted water with a few drops of liquid smoke for 3 or 4 hours.
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • vegetable stock
  • balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup frozen peas {optional}
  • liquid smoke

Directions

***Please note that all measurements are approximate.

Saute onions & carrots in a splash of balsamic vinegar.
Add about 1/4 cup water and 4 or so spoonfuls of vegetable
stock {or 2 or 3 cubes I suppose}. Turn off heat.

When peas are finished soaking, rinse well,
add fresh water to bowl until the peas are covered.
Place in pot with sauted onions & carrots. Bring
to a rolling boil, add a few drops of liquid
smoke, reduce to medium heat and let cook away
for an hour or more. Add frozen peas.

When cooked through I used a potato masher and finished
mushing up the peas.

Goes great with fresh homemade vegan bread!
