Split Pea Soup With Chicken Apple Sausage



Recommended Posts

I've been eating split pea since the post-op liquid diet. I would strain it and drink the liquid. It is one of my favorites nowadays, and I've read up on peas and learned that they are good for digestion, settle the stomach, and have tons of Vitamins and Protein. They go down SO well and make my tummy feel good. Here's a recipe i've made a few times now, it's a spin off of a Rachel Ray recipe.

1 lb split peas

7 cups Water (they say use 6 cups on the bag, but 7 makes it a little less thick)

2-3 chicken bouillon cubes, or you can use chicken broth instead of Water

1/2 pound chicken apple sausage, cut into small bits

1/2 large onion or one small onion chopped

about 1/2 cup chopped fennel (optional)

3-4 carrots, or about half a bag of mini carrots, chopped small

10 mint leaves, chopped

2-3 bay leaves

juice of 1/2 lemon

rind of 1/2 lemon, grated

thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, basil rosemary to taste (fresh herbs are always better, but dried work too)

bring peas to a boil, add carrots immediately. Saute onions, fennel, sausage, and herbs until slightly browned. Add mint, lemon juice and lemon rind directly to Soup. Add all other ingredients after browning. Let all ingredients simmer together until peas are mushy and you can no longer see whole peas and all the flavors are meshed. Enjoy! I make extra to freeze and take it to work for lunches. Everyone I work with says i'm going to turn green from so much pea soup!

you can also make this in the slow cooker, cook the peas for about 8 hours on low.
