Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil
  • 1 cup (250 mL) chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) yellow curry powder
  • 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) dry green split peas
  • 5 cups (1.25 L) water or sodium-reduced vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) black pepper, more or less, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt, more or less, to taste

Directions

  • Heat oil in large non-stick stockpot over medium/low heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until onions are tender, not brown. Add curry powder and cook for another minute to release the oils in the spice.
  • Add peas and water or chicken broth. Increase heat to high and bring to boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until peas are tender, about 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add pepper and salt, taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
  • Purée the soup using an immersion blender in the pot or carefully transfer to stand blender until desired consistency is reached.
