Golden Split Pea Soup

This is from my low-fat moosewood cookbook. Your house will smell like an indian restaurant! The soup is a beautiful dark gold color. Don’t use green or brown lentils, it just won’t be the same. This makes a lot, but you can freeze it. Even my one year old loves this! Serve topped with plain yogurt and chopped cilantro. Pass pita bread.

Steps

In a soup pot , saut the onions in the oil for about 8 minutes , until golden , stirring frequently.
Add the cumin , turmeric , coriander and ginger and cook for another minute.
Add the split peas , water , sweet potatoes , apples , cinnamon , and chili powder , cover and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat and simmer for 40 minutes , or until the split peas are tender.
In a bowl , combine the tomatoes , lime juice and soy sauce.
When the split peas are tender , add the tomato mixture.
Puree the soup in a blender or with a stick blender , adding more water if needed.
