A big pot of Hearty Vegan Split Pea Soup is the perfect way to see us through to spring. Made with organic split peas and plenty of veggies, this warming and nutritious soup is not only filling but delicious!
Powerhouse legumes!
Split peas are one little legume with a mighty punch. These beauties are full of fiber, helping to stave off hunger and balance blood sugar. With about eight grams of protein per half cup of cooked peas, a bowl of split pea soup for lunch or dinner is a great addition to any work week.
Adding soup to your weekly meal plan is easy.
One of my favorite things about making soup is its incredible adaptability. I find it magical to start with a base ingredient (let’s say…split peas) and then add whatever fresh or frozen veggies I have left on hand from the week. Each time I make a pot, it seems to contain its own nuances of flavor, something special from the season or week it’s being made.
Our Hearty Vegan Split Pea Soup contains plenty of transitional winter vegetables with a slight sweetness due to the sweet potato added. I’ve also added a dash of smoked paprika for a subtle smokiness that I love.

Much love my friends!
