I love this soup because it simply simmers by itself on the stovetop, says Tracy Fay of Redmond, Oregon. People are surprised to hear that it has only 1 gram of fat per serving because the texture is so creamy. Ingredients:
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 cup chopped celery |
9 cups water |
1 package (16 ounces) dried green split peas |
2 cups cubed peeled sweet potatoes |
1 bay leaf |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan coated with cooking spray, cook onion and celery until tender. Stir in the water, peas, sweet potatoes, bay leaf, salt, thyme and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 70-80 minutes or until peas are tender.
2. Remove from the heat; cool slightly. Discard bay leaf. In a blender, puree soup in batches. Return to the pan; heat through. Yield: 10 servings.
