As the weather is super cold, so I thought of making this delicious soup with a small addition of jalapenos. Along with spices & veggies, adding jalapeno gives a kick to the soup’s flavor. This does not only taste good but is also easy to make. Lemony Split Pea Soup is an excellent way to include protein & fiber in your diet. Jalapeno & lemon add a nice flavor to the soup. And added bonus, soup is vegetarian & made with no-cream.
LEMONY SPLIT PEA SOUP INGREDIENTS
SPLIT PEAS: This soup is made by using split pea or frozen peas. Split pea will give yellowish-greenish color. But if you add frozen peas, the soup will be bright green in color. VEGGIES: You can add any veggie in the soup like carrots, celery, frozen peas, cauliflower. This will provide a better flavor to the soup. POTATO: If you don’t want to add any cream, then you can add potato to the soup. Adding potato will give a creamy flavor to the soup. SPICES: You can add any spices to the soup. I have used Italian Seasoning, Black Pepper, Bay Leaves, and thyme. FLAVORING: For extra flavoring, I have added jalapeno for a little kick & lemon juice for a tangy flavor to the soup. GARNISH: I have garnished the soup with some Greek yogurt, Harissa, and peas.
