Split Pea Soup recipe
A delicious and warm Split Pea Soup recipe with meaty, smokey undertones.

Ingredients

2 T (30 ml) canola oil
2 onions, chopped
Ina Paarman's Vegetable Spice or Green Onion Seasoning
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into rings
500 g split peas
10 cups (2.5 litres) water
4 x 25 g Ina Paarman's Liquid Vegetable Stock or 3 T (45 ml) Vegetable Stock Powder
750 g smoked pork ribs, cut into 2 rib pieces or 1 smoked eisbein
juice from 1/2 lemon
chopped parsley

Directions

Measure the oil in a large heavy based saucepan.

Add the onion and 1 t of the seasoning to the oil in the pot. Saute until the onions are lightly browned.

Add potatoes, carrots and split peas. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes to develop the flavours.

Add the water and liquid or powdered stock.

Add the pork ribs or smoked eisbein.

Cover with a tight fitting lid and simmer very slowly for 2-2.5 hours until peas are sufficiently mushy or cook in a slow cooker for 4-5 hours. Add lemon juice and taste for seasoning.

Ladle into warmed soup bowls. Add a helping of the meat. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Serve with nice crusty bread for a perfect meal in one.
