There seem to be lots of bugs going around these last couple of weeks. I, for one, recently came down with a nasty cold that wiped me out for a couple of days. Here's a delicious and cozy soup recipe to make you feel better. If chicken noodle soup had a vegetarian cousin, this would be it.
Ingredients:
8 cups of water
4 teaspoons vegetable broth base (i.e. better than bouillon)
2 Cups of Split Peas, rinsed & picked through
3 medium carrots, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped into dice-sized chunks
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon summer savory
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
A generous amount of freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Phase One:
Combine water, broth base, & split peas
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer
Loosely cover to allow steam to escape
Cook for 45 minutes & stir on occasion
Phase Two:
Add the rest of the ingredients
Bring back to a simmer
Loosely cover
Cook for 30 more minutes, stirring on occasion
Phase Three:
Remove from heat
The peas should be creamy & the vegetables soft
Allow pot to sit for 15 minutes before consuming
Phase Four:
Feel better :)
