When 3 out of 4 of my brethren and sistren ended up vegetarian vampires, our mother was pleased to realize one of her classic recipes could easily be converted for her meat-free offspring: split pea soup. Her simple recipe shows the true flavor of the peas while cramming in tons of protein and fiber. Just ditch the ham.
6 cups water
2 carrots
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 T. vegan butter
Rinse peas off in a strainer, removing bad peas. Bring the water to boil with peas. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour 30 minutes. Add carrots, salt, pepper, and butter. Stirring regularly, cook an additional 30-40 minutes or until carrots are tender. Serve.
Estimated time: 2 hours 15 minutes
Servings: 6 bowls
