Pea Recipes

Get all the smoky flavor with far less salt by swapping the ham hock for Canadian bacon in this favorite winter soup.

If fresh late spring peas are available, substitute for the frozen peas. This chilled soup tastes of springtime, and makes a perfect first course before an elegant ham dinner.

Very tasty and easy to make

A great vegetarian twist on Split Pea Soup.

Perfect meal for a cool day.

This recipe has been adapted from one found on Gina's Weight Watcher's Recipes site. (http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/03/split-
peas-soup-with-ham-2-points.html) I added more carrots, plus celery and swapped out the ham hock for a third pound of crisped bacon. My changes added 1/2 point to her recipe.

Family's Favorite Split Pea recipe. When we started this diet my son was open to food changes but insisted we didn't mess with this recipe.

A delicious tomato based stew with chunks of lamb and filling chickpeas.

Hearty split pea soup that is so easy to make. This is also one of the cheapest meals you can make, you can eat for practically pennies. This is vegetarian, and vegan, but even meat eaters will like it (my husband would say so). Only 78 calories!! If you are watching your sodium, choose Low Sodium Bouillon cubes. I buy my yellow split peas in bulk from whole/natural food stores. Wonderful autumn and winter soup.

Original recipe called for quinoa, but I didn't have any in the house. Quite spicy with the cayenne.

From delicious

Poaching instead of roasting or sauteeing the chicken for this salad keeps the outside soft, allowing the crunch to come from the almonds and sweetness from the snow peas and edamame. Chicken thighs are an equally lean choice without the skin and are higher in iron than the breast meat. While this is excellent warm, leftovers are just as good the next day and are great stirred into rice.

A Bean Salad you can use to top Brown Rice or Quinoa. Don't forget to add these to your tracking whether you use quinoa or rice. This recipe is packed with Protein/Fiber. One serving size is half a cup. You should end up with 4 cups a batch (hence 8 servings). Of course you can dramatically reduce the sodium if you use bagged beans and cook them yourself, but this is a time-saving recipe.

In Sri Lanka, cashew nuts are sold fresh, still tender and creamy-soft. They make a fabulous curry. Over here, you will need to soak, then simmer the cashew nuts to get them back to something close to their original state. It’s definitely worth the bother.
Preparation time :20 minutes, plus 2 hours soaking

All I can say is oh my GOD did this smell awesome as it cooked! This is a super flavourful chicken broth with saffron and both smoked and sweet Spanish paprika, a whole Spanish onion, crumbled bacon, chorizo, leftover roast chicken, chickpeas, green peas, Arborio rice and a roasted red pepper and garlic paste.

To make an economical soup, low in calories, fat and sodium but high in protein, and fiber I created this recipe. Hope you like it.

This is a great Weight Watchers recipe. 5 points
You can make it Vegan by adding 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast instead of the pam. cheese. My kids love it!

yummy split pea soup, you can add in ham if you like- if you are feeling like doing this in an extra fancy way you can also top with bacon. (cooking the onions in the bacon fat before adding in the other ingredients

A cream chicken and vegetable soup – without any cream!

This is great served over lettuce for a filling lunch or as a side to chicken or fish.

Tasty vegetarian/vegan dip

The calculated sodium count is much lower if you rinse the chick peas in cool water.

Very tasty salad as a side, or a lite lunch

Serve the soup hot with a nice crusty bread or whole wheat muffins
