Basic Split Pea Soup



Split peas have a GI value of 25, which makes them an excellent protein with no saturated fat.

1 cup green split peas, soaked at least 2 hours or overnight
1/2 medium onion, peeled stem end trimmed (not chopped)
2 large cloves garlic, minced
4 cups diluted vegetable or chicken broth*
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • Place soaked peas with all other ingredients in a soup pot and bring to a boil over medium heat
  • Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally
  • Remove onion and bay leaves and serve.

    *Diluted vegetable broth: when I use broth in different recipes, I nearly always dilute it with an equal amount of water so it's seasoning doesn't overpower the dish.
