Curry Split Pea Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Place the butter into a large (4 to 6-quart) saucepan over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the onion and a generous pinch of salt and sweat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to sweat for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, making certain not to allow onions or garlic to brown.
• Add the peas, chicken broth and curry powder. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook at a simmer until the peas are tender and not holding their shape any longer, approximately 45 to 50 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Using care and a stick blender, puree the soup until the desired consistency. Watch out for hot splatters.

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir 3-4 minutes or until tender. Add garlic and curry powder; cook 1 minute longer., Transfer to a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients. Cook, covered, on low 7-9 hours or until peas are tender. Stir before serving. Freeze option: Freeze cooled soup in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little water if necessary.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan. Add the onions, apples, garlic and ginger and saute over medium-low heat until tender but not brown. Stir in curry powder, cumin and mustard seed.
• Stir in split peas, add seven cups of the water, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for about one hour, or a little longer, until the peas are tender. Stir in another cup or so of water that will give the soup the proper consistency.
• Puree the soup in one or more batches in a food processor. The texture can be more or less smooth, according to your taste. If necessary add additional water.
• Return the soup to the saucepan, add the lime juice and check the seasonings. Reheat and serve with a dollop of yogurt spooned into the center of each serving.

Steps:

• Set slow cooker to high. Preheat 6 cups of water to boiling and add to slow cooker with cover.
