Pumpkin And Split Pea Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse split peas in cold water then add to stock in a large, heavy pot.
• Add pumpkin and remaining ingredients except for the parsley garnish.
• Simmer gently, partly covered, until peas and pumpkin are tender.
• Remove half of the soup from the pot and, either using a blender or immersion blender, puree half of the soup.
• Re-combine the pureed soup with the other half, and stir in 1/2 cup half and half.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve hot, garnished with parsley.

Steps:

• In a large metal spoon or a small pan, heat saffron over low heat about 10 seconds until dry, then grind to a powder with the back of a spoon and steep in 1 tbsp boiling water to release flavor, about 1 minute. Bring broth, peas, and onion to a boil in a large soup pot over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, 30 to 40 minutes. Stir in oil, cinnamon, ginger, spoonful of saffron, and pumpkin. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. The soup is done when the pumpkin begins to fall apart and the peas are tender. Salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• In a large pit, melt the butter.
• Add the onion, garlic, and chile and cook over moderate heat until the onion is softened, about 4 minutes.
• Add the cumin and cayenne and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the split peas and water, then whisk in the pumpkin puree and bring to a simmer.
• Cover and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the split peas are tender, about 2 hours.
• Stir the diced pumpkin into the soup and simmer over moderately low heat until tender, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• Put it all in a small crock pot and cook on high for 3 or so hours, until done, stirring as needed to ensure it's not sticking on the bottom.
• Puree with stick blender, if desired. I prefer mine with texture.
• Optional: top with a dollop of vegan sour cream. Yummy!

Steps:

• Place peas and onion in a pot with the stock.
• Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, then oil, cinnamon, ginger, saffron and pumpkin.
• Simmer until the pumpkin is cooked.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or 5-quart heavy pot with a lid, heat oil over medium. Add onion, carrots, celery, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook until vegetables begin to soften, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Add broth, split peas, ham bone, and 5 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and partially cover; simmer until peas are soft, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make croutons: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add bread and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Remove and discard bone from soup. Working in batches, puree only 1/2 the soup in a blender (don't overfill); return to pot. Add ham cubes, and simmer until heated through. If necessary, thin with water. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. Serve topped with croutons.
