Yellow Split Pea Soup

2 onions, finely chopped

4 medium zucchini, finely diced

2 cups yellow split peas, soaked over night or for several hours

2 boxes of veggie broth 

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

salt and pepper

Soak the split peas over night.  Rinse twice and drain. 

Sauté onion and zucchini in oil until tender.  I add salt here. 

(NOTE: Instructions say to save out a couple handfuls of the diced zucchini to add to soup at the end.  This is actually really good, but you are supposed to steam or boil the zucchini before adding.  What I do is pull out some of the sautéed zucchini and onion to add.) 

 

Add veggie broth, turmeric, split peas.  Bring to boil and simmer for a couple hours until peas are very tender.   Add salt and pepper to taste now or at the end.  

Blend smooth-ish.  Add in sautéed veggies before serving.
