This hearty and filling split pea soup is just what you want to eat for dinner on long and cold winter nights. The earthy flavors from the ginger, pumpkin, chickpeas, and hawaij are a welcome change from your standard split pea soup. Resist the tempation to skip some steps and dump everything in at once; you’ll want to follow the sauté process as directed for best results.
