Ingredients

• 1 pound green or yellow split peas
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium potato, peeled and diced
• 6 cups vegetable stock
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the split peas thoroughly under cold water. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a slow cooker, combine the split peas, diced onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and potato.

Step 3

Pour in the vegetable stock and stir in curry powder, cumin, turmeric, paprika, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Cover the lid and set the crock pot to 'Low' heat. Cook for 8 hours or until the split peas are soft and creamy, and the vegetables are tender. Alternatively, you can cook on 'High' for 4-5 hours.

Step 5

Once cooked, remove and discard the bay leaf. Use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup if you'd like a smoother consistency, or leave it chunky as preferred.

Step 6

Stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavors.

Step 7

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
