Steps
1 Done | Measure all the elements before starting to keep things easier in the process. |
2 Done | Grab a medium bowl and cover your split peas with water completely. Let it soak at least for 15 minutes. |
3 Done | After you wash all the potatoes, carrots, onions and celeriac, thoroughly peel them, discarding anything of inappropriate quality if it's necessary. |
4 Done | Cut your carrots and onions together with celeriac into small cubes. Be careful when dicing your celeriac as it isn't the softest vegetable, that's why it requires additional attention. |
5 Done | Let your pot for soup preheat before pouring the sunflower oil. Once the oil is hot enough, transfer the diced onions. Constantly stir them while frying until they become golden. Keep the heat medium, otherwise you might burn your onions. |
6 Done | Mix already fried onions together with carrots. Keep cooking until your carrots become slightly soft. |
7 Done | Transfer the cubes of your celeriac into the pot. Fry the vegetable mixture until all the components become soft enough. If they aren't completely cooked, they may taste somewhat stiff in your split pea soup. |
8 Done | Pour all the water and let it start boiling before adding next ingredients. |
9 Done | Use a sieve to get rid of any liquid in your peas. Transfer them to the pot. |
10 Done | Meanwhile prepare the potatoes, dice them into larger chunks for better organoleptic experience. In twenty minutes after the split peas were added, transfer the cut potatoes to the pot. They will need around twenty-thirty minutes to get cooked. |
11 Done | Use a mortar for your best black pepper, the texture may differ from usual commercial ground pepper, but the aroma is much stronger. |
12 Done | In five minutes before the end of preparation, add the kosher salt and previously ground pepper. Nothing too difficult about this vegan soup. |
13 Done | Once this easy split pea soup is ready, you may immediately ladle it into individual bowls. Moreover, it tastes great even after being refrigerated, if anything is left right after initial cooking. |
14 Done | Cut some cilantro and divide it among individual bowls. That's always quite refreshing to combine soups with fresh aromatic herbs. Indulge! |
