Split peas are dried and halved along a natural seam in their pod and don't require presoaking. Not tied to any particular region, this dish is an all-American winter favorite. Ingredients:
5 1/2 cups water |
4 cups organic vegetable broth (such as swanson certified organic) |
2 cups green split peas |
3/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion |
6 ounces diced canadian bacon (about 1 cup) |
1 cup finely chopped carrot |
1 cup thinly sliced celery |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat; bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
2. Stir in carrot, celery, pepper, and salt. Simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes or until peas are tender and soup thickens, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in juice. Serve immediately.
