Dana Treat – Treat Yourself
What Randy Doesn’t Like
Posted March 17, 2010
This soup is very quick to put together but it has to simmer a long time on the stove. You can easily make it a day ahead and the flavor will improve (like most soups). It will become quite thick, so thin with water as necessary. I halved this recipe.
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 stalks celery, diced
4 carrots, diced
2 cups chopped tomatoes
1 potato, peeled and diced
¼ cup mirin
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. powdered mustard
4 cups golden split peas
10 cups water
½ tsp.salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
In a large soup pot over medium heat, sauté onion over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for another minute or so. Add carrots and celery and sauté for 3 minutes, then add the tomatoes, potato, mirin, vinegar, and mustard and stir to combine. Add the split peas and the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer for at least 4 hours, adding water as necessary to thin. Remove bay leaf before serving.
