Vegetarian Recipes: Lentil Pea Soup

Lentil Pea Soup

1/2 cup split yellow peas
1/2 Tbs crushed ginger
1/2 cup split green peas
1 Tbs finely chopped cilantro (optional)
1 cup red lentils
1 cup broccoli stems (inner soft part), small cubes
1 onion finely chopped
1 pack of EasyCurry's Soup Mix (health food store)
2 cups small cubed carrots
1/2 Tbs crushed garlic
1 Tbs Celtic sea salt
2 cups of broccoli tips cut into small chunks
10 cups of water
Hot chili peppers, for fiery curry (optional)

Wash the peas and lentils and drain out most of the water. In a large pan, combine all of the ingredients except the broccoli tips. Place the pan on high heat and cook until the soup is boiling. Lower the heat to medium and cover with a lid. Leave a little opening so steam can escape. Stir occasionally. Cook for 30-40 minutes or until the lentils and peas are almost dissolved and the soup reaches the thickness that you desire. Add more water if the soup is too thick. Add the broccoli tips, stir, and turn off the heat. Serve in a soup bowl with rice or pasta or bread. Enjoy. Serves 6 - 8.
