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.

I buy my yellow split peas in bulk from whole/natural food stores. Wonderful autumn and winter soup.

Picking fresh from the garden in the morning makes for a wonderfully light meal in the evening. Add BLSL chicken breast for a heartier protein packed meal. I serve this with Flaxseed crackers or Flaxseed Bread.

Dried split peas often are soaked to speed cooking time, but that step is unnecessary when making the soup in a slow cooker.

In Ayurvedic Medicine (a form of ancient alternative Indian medicine), they teach that all 6 tastes – sweet, bitter, salty, pungent, sour, and astringent, should be eaten at every meal for us to feel fully satisfied and to ensure that all major food groups and nutrients are represented.

Protein packed and perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner, this is a variation on the Whole Foods recipe by the same name. They called for a 16 oz bag of split peas... mine was 20, so I modified the recipe to make it work! I also used red instead of yellow onion, and used thyme in place of bay (because I was out).

This recipe is adapted from Big Oven.com's crockpot recipe for Vegetarian Split Pea Soup. Vegetarians/Vegans who are unconcerned about sodium intake may use all vegetable broth. I was unable when I went to the store this time to find unsalted vegetable broth (I shop at Walmart). The original recipe also includes 1/4 cup of snipped parsley. I have left it out--it was probably included to intensify the color, add some flavoring and as a nutrient boost. If you want to add it to this recipe, go ahead.

This is a hearty (and low sodium) vegan split pea soup, made thicker because the blended split peas soak up more broth and water than they would if left whole. There are similar recipes to this one, but I've added mushrooms (for taste and texture), plus textured vegetable protein and nutritional yeast (for taste and protein). It's easy to make (mostly hands-off slow-cooking), and a great arrow to have in any vegan quiver.
