Pea Soup

Vegan Split Pea Soup

This split pea soup is easy to make and packed with healthy vegetables. For the pictures, I left the soup very thick, more like a purée, but you can add more water to give it a thinner consistency.

Besides peas, I added cashews to make the soup extra creamy, and garlic for that extra health benefit and its anti-inflammatory properties. I ate this vegan split pea soup for three days in a row when I was sick with a cold, and it got me back on my feet in no time. 🙂
