French Canadian Pea Soup

This French Canadian Pea Soup brings back my childhood. The memory of cold winter nights and warm meals. My mom would put her peas to soak the night before she would make the soup. I knew that the next day, our home would smell fabulous and I’d have the pleasure of eating that big bowl of comfort. Shout out to my mama who “veganized” the recipe and is making it taste just as if it was back then. You should also check out these French Canadian Shepherdโ€™s Pie.

Green Split Pea Soup

This Green Split Pea Soup brings warmth and comfort to your plate. During my childhood, yellow split peas were mostly used, but the result is fabulous with green peas. The smoked paprika and liquid smoke are exquisite and bring on the smokiness. Don’t be shy, get some liquid smoke from the grocery store or from here. It is becoming easier and easier to find.
