Questions about Split pea soup
Do you need to soak split peas before making split pea soup?
Usually not: dried split peas soften without soaking. Rinse them, pick out any debris and simmer until tender; soaking overnight can shorten the cooking time, but drain and rinse them first.
How long does split pea soup take to cook?
Allow about 60–90 minutes for dried split peas to become soft in a pan at a gentle simmer. Stir from time to time and add hot water or stock if the soup thickens before the peas are tender.
How do you thicken split pea soup?
Simmer it uncovered to evaporate excess liquid, or mash some peas against the side of the pan. For a smoother, thicker soup, blend part or all of it; it will thicken further as it cools.
What goes well with split pea soup?
Serve it with crusty bread, rye bread or a cheese toastie. Smoked ham or bacon is a classic addition; carrots, celery, onion and bay leaf make a savoury base even in a meat-free version.
Can you freeze split pea soup?
Yes. Cool it promptly, divide it into portions and freeze in airtight containers, leaving a little room for expansion. Defrost in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot, stirring well; add a splash of water if it has become very thick.
How long does split pea soup last in the fridge?
Keep it in a covered container and use it within three days. Cool it promptly rather than leaving the pan at room temperature, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Is split pea soup high in protein?
A typical bowl of about 250 g provides 9.6 g of protein. The amount can be higher in recipes made with ham, bacon or other protein-rich additions.
Is split pea soup high in vitamin K?
It provides 36.1 µg of vitamin K per 100 g, making it a source of this vitamin. The amount in a bowl depends on its size and the recipe.
