Green Split Pea Stew

Green Split Pea Soup

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced thin
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 45 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 810 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup green split peas, sorted and rinsed
  • 1 bunch beet greens, chopped
  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • Splash fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste
  • Garnishes: toasted pumpkin seeds or pine nuts, fresh cilantro, coconut yogurt

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until nicely browned, but not burned, about 6-7 minutes. Add the garlic,  thyme, sea salt and pepper, and cook one more minute. Add the turmeric and mix well. Add the vegetable broth and the peas, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 30-40 minutes, until the peas are tender, but still hold their shape. Add the beet greens and the chickpeas. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, until the beet greens are wilted. Test for seasoning and adjust, if necessary. Turn off the heat, add a splash of fresh lemon juice and garnish. Bon appétit!
