Split Pea And Barley Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, combine split peas, carrots, celery and 1 onion with water.
• Bring to a boil.
• Stir in barley, bay leaf and garlic, if using.
• Reduce heat and simmer partly covered for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Stir occasionally.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• In a nonstick skillet, heat oil.
• Saute the remaining 2 onions on medium heat until well-browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add onions to soup along with dill.
• Simmer soup 5 to 10 minutes longer.
• Discard bay leaf.
• Reheats and/or freezes well.
• If soup gets thick, add a little water or broth.

Steps:

• Place broth, split peas, onion, carrot, celery and garlic into a 3-quart pot.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour.
• Mix soup, a small amount at a time, in a food processor or blender.
• Return pureed soup to pot and add barley.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 30 to 40 minutes or until barley is tender.
• Season with salt and white pepper.

Steps:

• Pick over the split peas. Rinse, drain and place them in a saucepan. Cover with water to the depth of one inch, bring to a boil and cook for two minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to soften for one hour.
• Melt butter or oil in a large, heavy kettle. Add onion, celery and carrot and saute over medium heat until soft and just barely beginning to color. Drain and rinse the peas and add them. Add 10 cups of water and the bay leaves.
• Bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer and cook for one hour. Add the barley and continue cooking one hour longer.
• Stir the soup, add lemon juice and dill. Season to taste with salt (don't be surprised if you need quite a bit) and pepper. Serve topped with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt if you wish.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl or liquid measure, combine the water, bouillon cubes and spices and whisk to combine (it's ok if the bouillon cubes don't completely dissolve).
• In a medium round slow cooker (about 4-quart), layer peas, barley, ham, carrots, onion and celery. Do not mix.
• Pour in the water/spices mixture and add the bay leaf to the slow cooker.
• DON'T STIR!
• Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for four hours or on low eight hours, until the peas reach the desired creamy, soft texture.
• Remove the bay leaf, stir well, and add salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Serve immediately.
• Note: Upon sitting and/or refrigerating, this soup thickens considerably. Simply add water or chicken broth to thin the soup to the desired consistency before re-serving.

Steps:

• Rinse and sort the split peas.
• Add them to a large pot with 6 cups of water, chicken broth, onion, garlic, lemon juice, salt, sugar, parsley, pepper, and thyme.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1-1 1/2 hours or until the peas are soft.
• While the peas are cooking, combine the barley with 6 cups of water in a saucepan.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1-1 1/2 hours or until the barley is soft and most of the water has been absorbed.
• When the split pea mixture has become a thick soup, use a handheld blender to puree the peas until the mixture is smooth.
• A standard blender or food processor may also be used to puree the soup in batches.
• This step may also be omitted.
• Drain the the remaining water from the barley and add the barley to the split pea mixture.
• Add the carrots and celery and continue to simmer the soup for 15 to 30 minutes or until the carrots are tender, stirring occasionally.
• Turn off the heat, cover the soup, and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
• Garnish each serving with the snipped green onion.

Steps:

• Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large soup pot with 8 cups water. Bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently for an hour.
• Stir in 2 cups water, and simmer until the peas are completely mushy, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve, or cover and let stand off the heat for an hour or so before serving. Thin with water and correct seasonings as needed.
• split peas
• Green split peas are easily digestible and high in protein. So are yellow peas, which are somewhat milder in flavor, though they can be used interchangeably. These peas are best known for their role in thick hearty soups.
• Try coming up with your own simple split pea soup combinations. These little legumes have a special affinity for tomatoes, garlic, curry, spices, and fresh dill.
• They're a delectable addition to winter stews, especially when combined with potatoes and eggplant.
