Ingredients
- 1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cups dried yellow split peas
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
Method
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, adding a little water if necessary to prevent sticking, about 5 minutes. Stir in ginger and cook 1 minute, stirring.
Add 8 1/2 cups water, peas and sweet potato and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and simmer until peas and potato are tender, about 1 hour.
Uncover and continue to simmer 15 minutes.
Carefully purée soup with a hand held immersion blender or in batches in a blender until smooth and creamy.
Garnish with pumpkin seeds.
