This is a very nice soup and a change from the regular split pea soup. I adapted it from Mediterranean: Food of the Sun. Ingredients:
1 cup split peas |
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
2 medium zucchini, finely diced |
4 cups water |
3 teaspoons vegetable bouillon granules |
1/2 teaspoon turmeric or 1/2 teaspoon saffron |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Soak the split pea overnight in cold water, or at least 6 hours.
2. Cook the onion in the oil until soft. Add the zucchini to the pan stirring for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the water, split pea, veg bouillon, tumeric, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, then cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the split peas are tender.
