London Particular – an "easy, peasy" soup |
Enter London Particular, a thin, smoky version of a basic split pea soup. It's warming and substantial enough that it will please the palates of hungry veg-heads and omnivores, alike. Plus, it's easy to make and is extremely frugal: I calculated the conservative cost per serving to be 50 cents, based on prices in the Philly region.
My recipe for London Particular appears in my new cookbook, Celebrate Vegan

London Particular
- 1 cup dried split peas, soaked overnight in water [You can also use yellow or red split peas]
- 2 T Earth Balance
- 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- Up to 1 tsp liquid smoke, or to taste
Drain and rinse the peas. In a stock pot, melt the Earth Balance and saute the onion and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes.
Throw everything else in the pot [Told you this is easy!]. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 1 hour or until everything is soft.
Carefully puree the soup in a blender or using an immersion blender
