Parsnip And Split Pea Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the onion and parsnips, cover and cook until softened, about five minutes.
• Transfer the vegetables to a 4-6 quart slow cooker and add the peas, thyme, bay leaf and stock. Cover and cook on low for eight hours, stirring once if possible. When it's done, the peas will disappear! (The time may vary, depending on your crock pot - I did three hours on high and one on low.).
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the Liquid Smoke, if using, remove and discard the bay leaf, and taste to adjust the seasonings.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the soup: Heat the EVOO in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the stock and peas, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until just tender, 20 minutes. Remove half the soup and puree with the mint and parsley until smooth in a food processor or high powered blender. Return the puree to the pot, and stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal.
• For the flatbread: Arrange the flatbread on a wire rack over a baking sheet, spray with the olive oil on both sides and season with salt and oregano. Roast in the oven to toasted and crisp. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
• Reheat the soup over medium heat. Serve the soup garnished with feta crumbles and a light sprinkle of cumin and paprika, a drizzle of EVOO and flatbread chips.

Steps:

• In a large sauce pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the celery, garlic, parsnip and onion, and saute for 15 minutes to build flavor, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. Add the oregano, thyme and bay leaf, and cook on low for 3 more minutes. Turn the burner off and add the bourbon, return to the heat and reduce for 3 minutes. Add the split peas, ham and stock. Remember to season lightly as you cook. Cook until the peas are tender and the soup has reduced to the desired consistency, about 1 hour. Pull the ham piece and herbs from the pot and, using an immersion blender, blend the soup until mostly smooth. Cut the ham into 1/2-inch pieces and add back to the pot. Serve with the toasted baguette.

Steps:

• Saute bacon in large saucepan over medium-high heat until fat is rendered, about 4 minutes; remove bacon; drain off all but 1 ½ tblsps of fat; add onion, carrot, leek and garlic and saute until light brown, about 10 minutes; add broth, lentils, split peas, potato, ham hock, celery, thyme and bay leaf; bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer until lentils and split peas are tender, about 45 minutes; stir in red wine and simmer 5 minutes longer; discard bay leaf; remove ham hock from soup and remove any meat attached to bone; cube meat and return to soup along with chopped up bacon; season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Freezer Note: Making up a double batch of soup is economical of energy and time - you'll do slightly more work now, use the same amount of energy to cook, and save yourself time and energy later on, when you want a quick, nutritious dinner. Just defrost in microwave, reheat well and serve

Steps:

• Drain the peas and bring to the boil in a pan of salted water. Cook for 10 mins, drain, rinse and put in a slow cooker with the remaining ingredients except the dill. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hrs, or until everything has softened. Remove and discard the thyme.
• Stir, adjusting the soup with 250-300ml boiled water as needed. Season to taste. Sprinkle over the dill and serve with rye bread, mustard and pickle, if you like.

Steps:

• In a 2-quart saucepan, bring the black-eyed peas and 4 cups of water to a boil; let stand 1 hour; drain.
• In an 8-quart stockpot, bring the remaining 8 cups water to a boil.
• Stir in the black-eyed peas, carrots, celery, onion, parsnip, and split peas.
• Return to a boil; decrease heat and simmer, uncovered, 40 minutes.
• Add in the parsley and dill; simmer 35 minutes or until the beans have softened.
• Stir in the celery salt, salt, and pepper; discard parsnip.

Steps:

• Take an 8 quart pot, and add the plain split peas, the split pea soup mixes (but not the seasoning packets), and the pearl barley.
• Add in 3 quarts of water; bring to a boil with the lid tilted, because it could boil over; once it boils, lower heat to keep at a simmer where the soup "just breaks a bubble.".
• Cook this on a slow flame, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring often to prevent sticking. It will be thick.
• Now add the chicken bouillon granules, sugar, pureed reserved vegetables from a previous chicken soup, bay leaf, chicken broth, and the reserved packets from the Manischewitz mixes (mixed with a little water).
• Add salt and pepper.
• Continue to cook for another half hour; stirring often.
• You can add water to the soup if it gets too thick. Mine was perfect.
• Remove bay leaf and discard.
• Serve warm or if freezing, let the soup rest, off the burner, and once it cools to a room temperature, you can put it into quart containers to freeze.
