Vegan Split Pea Soup
Vegan split pea soup is comforting, filling, delicious, and so good for you. Best of all it’s really easy to make. The secret ingredient in this soup is a turnip, placed in the pot whole. I don’t even bother peeling it, just give it a wash and plunk it in the pot. The purpose of the turnip is to infuse the soup with a lovely delicate flavour and subtle sweetness. Then just pull the turnip out with a pair of tongs after the vegan split pea soup is cooked. The result is so delicious.
