This fresh take on split pea soup is meat-free but super filling due to the high amount of fiber and protein in the ingredients. The lemon provides anti-inflammatory antioxidants like vitamin C and along with other herbs and spices in this soup brightens up the flavors. If you feel so inclined, make a double batch-this soup freezes well!

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Once warm, add the onion, celery, and carrots and cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 mins, until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent.

Step 2

Add the garlic, turmeric, thyme, pepper, split peas, potatoes salt, broth, and 1 cup of water. Increase thee heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 45-50 mins, until the split peas are soft.

Step 3

Stir the remaining 1 cup of water. Remove 2 cups of soup and blend in a stand blender, then mix it back into the unblended soup. (Alternatively, use an immersion blender). Stir in the lemon juice. Set the soup aside to cool.

Step 4

Divide the soup among 5 medium storage containers

Step 5

**Storage: Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze the soup for up to 6 months. To serve, microwave the soup for 2-3 mins, stirring every 30 seconds, until hot.

Step 6

**Substitution tip: use low-sodium broth if you prefer. This anti-inflammatory diet is naturally low in sodium, so I generally use regular sodium broth for its flavor.
