Here is another absolutely delicious creamy soup. Super hardy and filled with vegetables. This soup is jam packed with nutrients and is high in protein! This is definitely a great go-to comfort food option. It’s simple to make with minimal mess and prep work. Simply throw everything into one pot and set to cook!
Roughly 6 servings
Ingredients:
1 whole medium onion, diced
2 or 3 large garlic cloves, or equivalent, diced
4 large carrots, sliced
1 1/2 cups of diced ham
2 small links of chorizo, sliced
1 chicken cubito
1 small piece of calabaza (pumpkin)
2 potatoes, quartered
1 pack of split peas
1 tablespoon of cumin
1 tablespoon of oregano
salt
pepper
(Amount of each ingredient can be adjusted per chefs’ liking.)
Place everything, except the potatoes, into a large pot with enough water to submerge ingredients.
Let simmer, covered, for about an hour, add water if needed.
Split peas should dissolve a bit. The texture of the soup is up to you. Whether you like it with a more soup-like consistency (cook for less time), or more like mash potatoes (simmer a little longer so split peas dissolve a little more).
Add potatoes at the end and let them soften.
Tip: Use a pressure cooker for about 15 minutes (or less than you normally would for larger beans) to speed up the process.
