Creamy Vegan Split Pea Soup Recipes

VEGAN SPLIT PEA SOUP I

This makes a very thick vegetarian split pea soup. To make it thinner, reduce the amount of split peas or add more water. Depending on the density of split peas, it may take a while for the vegetables and peas to soften, but you can't really overcook this soup; just stir occasionally, and add water if it gets too dry. Seasonings can be altered to taste. Tastes even better reheated.

CREAMY SPLIT PEA SOUP

This is a wonderful soup for a cold winter's night. My kids love it and ask for it all the time! Its great with fresh out-of-the-oven wheat bread. I often serve it with a dollop of cottage cheese (cools it down for the kids and adds protien). Enjoy!
