Curried Split Pea Soup

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Curried Split Pea Soup.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious soup, grab a large soup pot and warm up some olive oil over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   Once the oil is shimmering, squeeze in fresh lemon juice and toss in minced garlic, sliced carrots, onions, and celery.

3. Step 3

   Stir everything together and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender enough to easily break apart with a fork.

4. Step 4

   When the veggies are just right, transfer them along with their flavorful juices to a bowl and allow them to cool slightly.

5. Step 5

   Once they’ve cooled down a bit, blend the mixture in a blender until it transforms into a smooth, velvety puree that will add a wonderful texture to your soup.

6. Step 6

   Next, pour 10 cups of water back into the same pot and stir in chicken bouillon cubes, letting them dissolve completely.

7. Step 7

   Now, it’s time to bring that vibrant vegetable puree back into the mix.

8. Step 8

   Pour it into the pot and bring everything to a gentle boil over medium heat.

9. Step 9

   As the mixture bubbles, stir in dried split peas, Italian seasoning, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and curry powder.

10. Step 10

    This is where the magic happens! Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for at least 45 minutes.
