Split Pea + Sweet Potato Soup
My younger brother moved to the states at the end of last year and he has always loved making up his own recipes in the kitchen. I only have one brother, just to clarify, because I guess saying “younger brother” makes it seem like I might have an older brother and I don’t. Just saying. Anyway, he came home from Publix the other day with some split peas and made us some soup. It was delicious so I knew I was going to try my own version because Oliver eats soup so well and its a great way for him to get a variety of vegetables and plant protein., and how hard can that be sometimes right?
I don’t actually like peas, I never have. As a child, I used to either try to pass them to my brother (our dogs weren’t allowed in the kitchen) or I would take them like pills, swallowing them down with water. If I hadn’t finished dinner by the time everyone else was finished, I was procrastinating eating the peas, my dad would set a timer on the table for about 10 minutes and I had to finish them or else I wasn’t allowed dessert. And that was motivation enough for me, because I loved dessert! I just still used every second of those ten minutes to slowly get those peas down. But luckily this soup is amazing even if you hate peas, go figure!?
I was going to do split pea and regular potato soup but I didn’t have any so I tried it with sweet potatoes the one night and have made it with them ever since. I loved it! I know you will too.
