Split Pea and Brown Rice Soup

Name: Split Pea and Brown Rice Soup
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons sunflower oil; 1 large yellow onion, diced; 6 cloves garlic, pressed; 6 cups water; 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt; 2 cups dried green split peas; 4 ribs of celery, diced (2 cups); 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced (2 cups); 3 cups cooked brown rice*; *I used cooked brown rice that I already had in the fridge. If you don’t have rice cooked already, you can start to cook it at the same time that you begin the soup. 1 cup uncooked brown rice + 2 cups of water will = about 3 cups cooked brown rice. Bring the water and rice to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir, cover, reduce heat and cook 45-50 minutes.

Instructions

Step 1

Heat the sunflower oil in a large pot on medium heat. Add the diced onion and pressed garlic and saute 5-7 minutes, until soft. I like to add some water to the pot to help soften up the onions, a few tablespoons should do the trick

Step 2

Add the water, sea salt and split peas. Turn the heat up to high and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer the peas for 40 minutes, stirring a few times throughout the 40 minutes so that the peas do not stick to the pot.
