Ingredients
250g cooked cubed sweet potato1/4 cup Trader Joe's Salsa Autentica (or your favorite salsa)1/4 cup split peas (dried)1/4 cup lentils (dried)1 tbsp minced garlic1 tsp ground ginger2 tsp dried basil1 tsp ground cumin2 cups hot water
Cook the sweet potato cubes however you see fit. (I simply peeled and cubed them, then put the cubes in the oven until done. I weighed the sweet potato cubes AFTER I cooked them!)
In a small pot, add the water to the lentils and peas. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes with the lid tilted to let off steam.
While the peas are cooking, process the sweet potatoes, garlic, and salsa in a food processor, blender, or immersion blender. When the peas are cooked thoroughly, add the spices and sweet potato mixture to the pot (do not drain the water). Stir to combine.
Raise heat to bring the soup to a boil, then lower to low, cover, and let it simmer for 5 minutes or until soup is thoroughly hot!
Serve immediately.
Makes 2 servings.
