Nan’s Vegan Split Pea Soup - Stove top or Instapot

  • This chunky split pea soup is loaded with vegetables and rich with flavor. You can double the recipe in an 8 quart Instapot or stove top pot.
    As with all recipes, taste at the end an add what you like in terms of heat (I added some Harissa), savory flavor, or salt and pepper.
    Before serving most soups, I add some chopped spinach just before serving, and let it wilt. I do that with this one as well.
    Split pea soup is high in protein, fiber, and especially with this combination of vegetables, rich in phytonutrients.
    Enjoy it with cornbread or crusty bread, a salad, and a vegetable side if you would like.
    Enjoy!

    I’m making a version of this now. I use Himalayan salt also, but I also use Celtic Sea Salt which is a bit pricey, but it has health benefits Himalayan doesn’t. I watched a show where chefs prepared fish with different types of salt & all agreed the Celtic Sea Salt was superior in flavor. Just a public service announcement 😂

    Hi Nan, I saw your recipe for ranch dressing on Chef AJ's channel and decided to subscribe to your channel. I live close by the Local Spicery (Marin County Norcal) so I'm going to pick up the dill seed for the dressing and herbs for this delicious looking soup. Have a great day.

    Hello, I saw your recipe for ranch dressing on Chef AJ's channel and thought I would check your channel out. Your recipe looks delicious. Does this soup freeze well? You're making this on my birthday :)

      Hi Barbara, yes it does freeze well. I make big batches of everything so that I can have a freezer library of meals. I’m so glad that you enjoy what I have to offer. Thanks for letting me know🥰

    Another wonderful recipe explained in simplicity looks so delicious and hearty.I will be starting a bag of scrap for stock. Funny you made this on my b’day the 10th . Do you think doubling this will still fit in a 6qt.iP thank you Nan

    • @NanSimonsen
      @NanSimonsen  2 роки тому

      You may prefer to do it in an 8 quart, which is a size that you’re going to want to have for your stock anyway.

    Do you use organic split peas?

    • @NanSimonsen
      @NanSimonsen  2 роки тому +4

      Hi bourgsusan, yes, I buy most of what I eat organic. Too many of our crops are sprayed with the desiccants, herbicide, and pesticides that mess up our microbiome in our hormones. That’s my way to try to keep my food as clean as I can.😊

    Is a good olive oil a bad oil

    • @NanSimonsen
      @NanSimonsen  Місяць тому

      Hi Bee, good question. It depends on who you ask. Plenty of experts will tell you that a virgin cold pressed well. sourced olive oil is actually good for our health. I won’t argue that.
      I have learned to love my food without oil Which gives the food, a very pure flavor, and saves hundreds, and hundreds of calories, which allows me to as they say “eat way less”. Because I focus on Whole Foods that are plant-based I get plenty of healthy fat, but it’s not refined or concentrated into an oil. It’s tied to the other nutrients in that food as well as the fiber. So for example, my huge, filling, and beautiful daily salad mixed salad has hundreds of calories less than if I used oil-based dressings.
      To sum it up, those who eat whole food plant-based believe what I just stated above, and that it’s better for our cardiovascular health to cut added oil from our diet. I hope this answered your question.🌻🥰🌻

    Harissa is North African, from Tunisia 🇹🇳 (Algeria & Morocco use it a lot too) other countries might use Harissa but Nan it is definitely not Persian so if you say it is a middle-Eastern condiment you will upset some people. You have to have the knowledge of where the food comes from so you don’t spread false information. Btw you look great at 71 😊

    • @NanSimonsen
      @NanSimonsen  18 днів тому

      Thank you for drawing my attention to this. Yes I see that it is used in a number of cuisines, including the Middle East, but is Tunisian in origin. Very good to know. 🌻😊🌻

      Yes, if smokey is not your thing, then don’t add it. It still has plenty of flavor.
