Springy Vegan Split Pea Soup With Leeks
Soups are wonderful year-round, and they often evoke different seasons or holidays depending on the ingredients incorporated. There is no doubt that this soup sings
spring! The vibrant green color sparks that increase of energy and vitality that comes with the first hints of warmer weather. The bright taste of the split peas mellows out with the delicately sweet, mild flavor of the leeks. Simmer the soup with a dried chipotle chili pepper, and the balance gains a beautiful smokiness. Topped with crispy sautéed peas, sprouts and a squeeze of lemon, this creamy dream feels powerfully restorative.
