Just to let you know, I don’t soak my yellow split peas, never really found it necessary. Maybe I’m being really naughty by not doing this, but hey seem to work just fine. Also a little tip about kale, it goes bitter the longer you keep it so store in a perforated bag in your fridge and use within 2-3 days of buying.
Ingredients:
6 cups of veggie broth
1 tbsp liquid smoke
a pinch of celery salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 cups of yellow split peas, rinsed and drained
1 big-ish Yukon gold potato, diced
3 carrots diced
2 big handfuls of kale, the tough stems removed and chopped into bit size pieces
1/2 tsp fresh chopped thyme
black pepper to taste
Method:
Add the broth, celery salt, liquid smoke, split peas, garlic powder, potato and carrot to a nice big soup pan and bring to the boil for ten minutes, then bring down to a simmer, add the thyme and cook for another 30 mins and give it a good stir to help the split peas break up and go all nice and mushy, add the kale, stir through and cover the pan. Cook for further 5 minutes, taste for seasoning and add pepper and serve with toasty garlic bread.
I hope you really didn’t mean “spit” pea soup 🙂
Thanks for pionting that out, I would never of noticed :O
You’re Welcome – Sometimes I review my own stuff so many times that I miss things 🙂

It will be my intro to kale!
This looks great!!
Kale is probably one of my favourite vegetables. I especially like it in my smoothies, gives it a great green colour.
That looks so tasty- will try once I finish my new year detox 😉 ~ Thanks muchly 🙂
I cannot wait to try this recipe!
this looks great,, I really want this right now!
I love kale, especially in soups!
uhm, yum!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I discovered liquid smoke a little while ago and love using it in bean and lentil dishes, this looks fantastic.
THIS LOOKS AWESOME 🙂
GOD BLESS …
This looks awesome! I bet it would also be good with a little bit of hot smoked paprika substituted for the liquid smoke.
This is amazing. I am never making split pea soup without liquid smoke again, that was a great idea! Thanks!
