Changes: Blended split pea soup

Revision as of 08:13, 7 June 2015

Description

This recipe is low cost, easy to prepare and provides protein in a vegetarian or vegan diet. It can be a soup or a bigger dish depending on how much water and how much ofthe other ingredients you use.

Ingredients

If you feel like a bigger meal you can use more.

50 to 100 grammes yellow split peas (You can make more and use the rest for a salad or something else the following day.)
1 carrot
1 tbs rape seed oil
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
Yoghurt (optional vegans can leave this out)
Vegan cheese alternative (also optional, probably not worth adding if using yoghurt)
Different types of curry powder to taste
Vegetarian stock powder to taste

Directions

Soak the split peas 8 -12 hours or overnight, ideally changing soaking water several times.
Put the split peas in a saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until partially done.
Meanwhile cut up the carrot and onion.
Heat the oil in a a thick bottomed saucepan, fry the carrot and onion gently till it’s partially cooked.
Add the split peas, stock powder and curry powder, and cook till well done. I added vegan cheese flavour sauce at this point because the packet advises cooking it, other vegan cheese alternatives may be prepared differently.
Blend
Put into bowls, add a dollop of yoghurt if using.
Serve.
