Vegan Split Pea Soup

 

This Vegan Split Pea Soup is one of my favourite recipes.

At home with not much to do? Why not make some delicious vegan split pea soup.

Years ago when I found out I had multiple food sensitivities I had to be creative in the kitchen. This meant making my meals from scratch with ingredients that were clean and nutritious. This was a real learning curve for me as I really didn’t know how to cook.

Growing up my Mum had cooked all our meals. As a twenty something woman living on my own, eating out and take out were no longer an option.

Suffering with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome meant I didn’t have a lot of energy therefore I had to create meals that were easy.

My Mum used to make pea soup with the leftover ham bone but what if you didn’t have one? I decided I would create a vegan split pea recipe and it soon became on of the many recipes in my cookbook, Finally… Food I Can Eat! A dietary guide and cookbook for people with multiple food sensitivities or those who were looking for simple, healthy recipes that avoided gluten, dairy, corn, sugar, soy and yeast.

Split peas are low in saturated fat and cholesterol. They are packed with fiber and help to stabilize your blood sugar

Here is the recipe for you to try. Let me know what you think.

 

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups split peas, rinsed and drained
