Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
4 tsp curry powder (he suggests mild)
9 cups water
1 1/2 cups winter squash, cubed
2 cups yellow split peas
1 bay leaf
1 tsp salt (more to taste)
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp tomato paste

Directions:

Spray a large soup pot with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery and saute 7-8 minutes. Lower the heat, then stir in the garlic and saute for 30 more seconds.
Add the oil, then stir in the curry powder and gently saute for 30 seconds.
Add the water, squash, split peas, bay leaf, and salt. Bring to a near boil, then lower the heat.
Partially cover the pot, then simmer for about 1 hour. Cook until the split peas are completely tender and falling apart. Remove from heat and discard bay leaf.
Puree soup in batches using a food processor, blender, or immersion blender.
Put pureed soup back on the stove over low heat and stir in the sugar and tomato paste. Add salt if necessary.
Simmer five minutes more, then serve with lemon wedges if desired.
