Split Pea Soup With an Umami Trick + More


Hi Reader,

It's cold and rainy here in Asheville, which I guess is why all I can think about right now is soup! 🥣

And with Thanksgiving behind us, it feels like a good time to dive into some cozy favorites to enjoy in the coming weeks.

This vegan split pea soup is right up there at the top of my list!

The creaminess and lightly smoky flavor feel instantly nourishing. 🥰

It's oil- and nut-free, full of protein and fiber, and just so nutritious and delicious!

Feel free to add a spicy kick or some smoked tofu or tempeh.

Crumbled tofu chorizo or soy curl bac'n bits on top would also be perfect.


Add a side salad with healthy homemade salad dressing...
maybe even a slice of
oil-free cornbread or a biscuit.
Now, that's my kind of dinner. 🥰


More Soups & Stew

With rosemary, garlic, and both fresh and dried mushrooms, if you're a mushroom-lover, this is a must-try!


Easy to make in 30 minutes. The subtle tang of plain non-dairy yogurt really takes it up a notch.


A little spicy and smoky, this one's packed with satisfying lentils and vegetables. Includes stovetop & Instant Pot instructions.


With dried Italian herbs and perfectly tender vegetables, this recipe is a go-to of mine - anytime of year.


With butternut squash, carrots, and kale, this wild rice soup is basically autumn in a bowl.


An easy, satisfying, 1-pot stew with tender potatoes, vegetables, and chickpeas in a rich and flavorful tomato base.


I hope you enjoy the recipes. Let me know if you give any a try!

Hi Reader, Though I've never been much for superstitions – or tradition, for that matter! – when you grow up in the South, eating black eyed peas on New Year's Day is a given. But why kick off the year with plain black eyed peas when it's so easy to make ROCKSTAR B.E.P.s instead? 🙌 A few tasty additions like dried herbs and spices, onion, garlic, and canned tomatoes make these so good no one will ever miss the ham hock. I like to cook black eyed peas in the Instant Pot, but if you don't have...

Hi Reader, Do you like harissa? 🌶️ I sure do! When most people think of harissa (affiliate link), they probably think of harissa paste, but I find myself using the dry spice blend (affiliate link) much more often. I like that it keeps longer than harissa paste, and it's just so easy to incorporate into dishes anytime you want a boost of that earthy and lightly smoky+spicy flavor. One Pot Harissa Quinoa Though harissa originated in Tunisia, it's also popular in Moroccan cuisine. Here I paired...
