Equipment
- chopping board
- Kitchen knife
- large sieve
- large soup pan or stock pot
Ingredients
- 450 g yellow split peas
- 2 onions (diced)
- 500 g carrots (peeled and chopped)
- 400 g swede (peeled and chopped)
- 2.5 ltr vegetable stock (or use chicken or ham stock)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the yellow split peas into a large sieve and place under a cold running tap. Wash the peas to remove any dust and until the water runs clear.
- Now place the split peas into a large soup pan, along with the vegetables, stock and salt.
- Place the soup pan over high heat and bring to a boil, then turn down to medium-low and allow the soup to simmer for 1 hour 15 minutes, until the peas have softened.
- At this stage the soup is cooked, for a rougher texture to the soup, remove the vegetables and peas from the pan, onto a plate, and mash with a potato masher. Then return the vegetables to the pan, taste for seasoning, add the black pepper and more salt if required.
- For a smoother soup, you can blend using a stand blender or immersion stick blender.
