Everyone is as concerned about their economic health as they are about their physical health, and this classic Co-op Café recipe fits the bill for both. You can buy organic split peas in our bulk department for literally pennies per serving. With each serving containing 7 grams of fiber and high in protein and folate, it’s a real bargain. This recipe also replaces the traditional ham or pork flavoring, high in saturated fat and salt, with the fresh taste of ginger.
Ingredients
- 2 cups split peas
- 6 cups water
- ½ of a large onion medium dice
- 2 small carrots half moon sliced
- 1/2 pound of potatoes medium dice
AFTER COOKING:
- 1/4 cup tamari soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons ginger grated
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
-
Add split peas and water to a pot and bring to a boil. Remove soup from heat and stir in ginger, tamari and pepper.
-
Add onions, carrots and potatoes.
-
Reduce heat and simmer until peas split, about 30-45 minutes.
-
Once peas split and look like mush, cook for an additional 5 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently because the soup will burn easily.
