Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Butter/Ghee or oil of your choice
  • 1 Onion - small to medium size
  • 4 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 t Savory dry
  • 1 t Thyme dry
  • 1 t Oregano dry
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 1 Carrot medium size
  • 1 Zucchini medium size
  • 1 Potato medium size
  • 1 can Coconut milk or regular cream
  • Salt & Black Pepper to taste
  • 1½ cup Yellow Split Peas, rinsed or green, or a mix of both
  • 1 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 1 thumb size Fresh Turmeric or 1t Turmeric powder
  • 1 thumb size Fresh Ginger or 1t Ginger powder
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Parsley
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1500 ml Water or veggie stock, or a mix of both

Instructions

  • Chop the onion, carrot, potato, and zucchini.
  • In the same pot in which you will cook the soup, add the butter, let it melt, then add the chopped onion, and cook on medium heat for about two minutes.
  • Next, add the dry herbs (savory, thyme, oregano, and bay leaves). Sautee for a few seconds so the herbs release their aroma.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for a minute before adding the chopped carrot, potatoes, and zucchini. Cook them for 2-3 minutes.
  • Then, add the coconut milk, salt and black pepper. Mix everything well.
  • Add the split pea, tomato paste, freshly grated turmeric, and ginger. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the water. Cover and cook on low to medium heat for about 30 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
  • 10 minutes before ready stir in the chopped parsley and olive oil.
  • Taste the soup while cooking, if it needs more salt or spices.
  • Serve hot. It tastes even better the next day.

Notes

If you don't have all the herbs or missing some, just use what you have available. Even pre-mixed herbs, like Italian mix, will work just fine.
