Introduction

Adapted slightly from Bob's Red Mill Everyday Gluten-Free, this split pea soup is simplicity at it's finest. A basically spiced puree of carrots, onions and split peas forms the perfect base for a ginger and cilantro pesto, which I swirled in instead of using as a topper because I was freezing portions for the week.

Ingredients

    1 1/2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
    1 large sweet onion, chopped
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    5 large carrots, chopped
    1 tbsp turmeric
    1/2 tbsp coriander
    1/2 tsp black pepper
    1/2 tbsp salt
    8 cups water
    2 cups dried yellow split peas
    1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
    1 cup (packed) cilantro
    2 tbsp lime juice
    zest of 1 lime
    2 tsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
    1 tsp ground chia seeds

Directions

In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium-low heat.
Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden - about 12 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, carrots and seasonings and cook 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Pour in the water and add the split peas. Stir well, cover and simmer for 45-50 minutes, until vegetables are very soft and peas are cooked.
Add the ginger, cilantro, lime juice and zest, sugar and chia seeds. Puree with an immersion blender (or in batches with a food processor).
Adjust seasoning and serve.
