Sun Oven Split Pea Soup With Caramelized Onions Recipes

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan simmer peas, basil, and bay leaf in water and broth, covered partially, until peas are tender, about 35 minutes, and discard bay leaf.
• While peas are cooking, in a heavy skillet sauté onion and cuminseed in oil over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden brown.
• In a blender puree soup in batches until just smooth and transfer to a bowl. Stir in onion mixture and salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and carrots and cook for about 60 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Do not let burn. Add the garlic, curry powder, ginger and serrano pepper. Cook five minutes and set aside.
• In another large pan combine peas and broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for about an hour or until peas are tender.
• Process in a blender until smooth or use an immersion blender. (I often skip this.).
• Stir onion mixture into the soup and add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in cilantro if using but I usually don't bother. It's good either way.
