This variation of Split Pea soup is sure to delight you and warm you up on a chilly winter’s day. I use a combination of yams and Yukon gold potatoes to give it a little sweetness. It’s smoky and sweet and completely vegan!

INGREDIENTS

In a soup pot over medium heat, sizzle red pepper flakes for 30 seconds. Add onion and celery and saute until onion is soft and translucent. Add herbs and spices and stir to combine. Add carrots, yam, potatoes and split peas. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Add broth and stir together ingredients. Turn up heat to high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover pot and lower heat to a simmer. Cook for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until split peas are soft, stirring occasionally. Add nutritional yeast and season with salt and pepper to taste.
