Andersen's Split Pea Soup - Copy

Andersen's Pea Soup is so good, but we can't purchase it in Colorado, so I had made a copycat recipe that is GOOD!




  Ingredients:
  • 2 cups green split peas
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 tsp thyme
  • 1 bay leaf, crumbled into very small pieces
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  • Sort the peas and rinse them clean.
  • Combine the peas, celery, carrot, onion, thyme, bay leaf and cayenne in a soup pot and cover with eight cups of water.
  • Bring the pot to a boil. Keep at a high simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to a low simmer. Let the mixture cook for another 25-30 minutes till the peas are completely tender. Towards the end of cooking, add the seasoned salt, then add salt and pepper to taste.
    • Once the peas are tender, put the hot mixture in a blender and liquefy.

      Pour the liquid soup into a large serving bowl and enjoy!  

      Note: We like eating this soup with croutons and veggie bacon bits!
