Ingredient Tips
Making a vegan-friendly spicy split pea soup has never been easier! Start with some extra virgin olive oil and sauté your favorite vegetables. Onions, garlic, carrots, and celery all make great additions. Then you’ll want to add spices like cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and ground coriander to give it that flavor boost you crave. Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper to your taste preference. If the heat gets too much for you then cut back on the chili powder or add in non-spicy ingredients like diced tomatoes and kale to cool things off. In no time at all, you will have a delicious vegan-friendly spicy split pea soup that your family can enjoy!
A delicious bowl of warmth!

Ingredients
Let's gather the ingredients!
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

- 2 medium carrots thinly sliced
- ½ cup celery finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 chili pepper finely chopped
- 1 tsp turmeric ground

- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 4 sprigs thyme fresh
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup dry green split peas or yellow split peas

Instructions
Let's Begin!
- Heat oil in a stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until soft.
- Add garlic, chili pepper, turmeric, garam masala, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often until the garlic becomes aromatic and the spices fragrant.
