This hearty bean soup is a super tasty all-in-one meal! Thick and flavorful, the addition of sautéed veggies really takes this soup from basic to gourmet. This soup is sure to be a real winner!
3 quarts water
1 cup Gefen Yellow Split Peas
1 cup Gefen Green Split Peas
1 cup Gefen Lima Beans, soaked overnight and skins removed
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons salt
4 tablespoons oil, for sautéing
2 medium onions, diced
1 pound carrots, grated
2 parsley roots, grated
1 red pepper, chopped
1 medium zucchini, unpeeled, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
In an eight-quart pot, bring water, split peas, lima beans, and baking soda to a boil. (After adding baking soda, lower heat for a few seconds, as it tends to cause the water to foam and boil.) Cook for one hour and 45 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add salt when beans are nearly tender.
In a three-quart saucepan, sauté onions in oil until golden in color. Add vegetables and sauté for 20 minutes. Combine sautéed vegetables with bean soup and cook additional 20 minutes.
