Pour the chicken stock and add splitpeas, lentils, barley, thyme, sage, cumin and salt. Today is the last month for winter here in New Zealand it can be a good thing as spring season is next but a bit bad as winter soups try die down in replacement of spring dishes but before it goes away I will be making soups as much as I can so today we will be making something made with lentils, peas and barley
Although neither of us grew up eating splitpeasoup, we are now fans and this is the recipe we use. Add splitpeas and simmer for about another hour or until they begin to break down
My mom used to make splitpeasoup for me all the time growing up. You will know when it’s done as the peas will turn to mush and everything will be one thick stodgy stew
1300g of yellowsplitpeas. 1Add the splitpeas and stock and bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for approx 1 hour. 1Soup is ready when peas have softened and soup is thickened
noneIngredients2 onions, finely chopped2 large carrots, finely diced750g (approx) unsmoked gammon joint, cut into chunks500g yellowsplitpeas (These need to be soaked overnight in preparation)1 litre vegetable stocksalt and pepperMethodPlace the chopped onion, carrot, ham, splitpeas and stock into the slow cooker bowl. Cook on high for 6-8 hours, or low for 10-12 hoursAdditional InfoI like the soup to have a thick consistency, but if you prefer it thinner you can always dilute with more water. 500g yellowsplitpeas
Like lentils, splitpeas help to thicken soups and stews but are also high in protein and low GI, so by adding in a handful here instead of potato or celeriac, I’ve made something that has more substance
Add the parsley and simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes until thick now you can puree the peas in a blender or pass through a sieve or just leave as is if you like a chunky soup. 1 pound Marrowfat Peas
I decided on the Homemade SplitPea and Ham Soup but have the Thai Chicken Salad and Stick Pork Ribs firmly on the list to make over the next few weeks too
I’ve always thought the colour of pea and ham soup to be a tad unappealing but now when I see something so lucidly green all I can think of is how healthy it must be if it’s so packed full of veg
