Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 cup yellow split peas
  • 1 medium sweet onion (about 3 inches, chopped)
  • 1 cups veggie broth plus 1/4 cup for sautéing (, low sodium if needed)
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1-2 teaspoons Himalayan pink salt (see note)
  • pinch of ground black pepper (see note)
  • 2 – 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (see note)
  • 3 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instruction

  • Wash and strain the split peas. Peel and chop the onion.
  • In a pot, pour the 1/4 cup veggie broth and sauté the onion until soft. Add split peas and stir for a couple of minutes. Add the 1 cup broth, water, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bring to a boil and simmer over very low heat until split peas are totally soft, about 30 minutes. Check periodically to see if more water is needed.
  • Remove from stove and use an immersion blender to smooth it out. You can also allow to cool and pour into a food processor or blender. Add lemon juice, stir to incorporate and top with parsley to serve. Use as a dip or on a sandwich! Or just eat with a spoon!
