Directions
Uncle Bill’s Indian Split Pea Soup,I developed this recipe after spending 2 months holidaying in Fiji. Their Indian soups were just tremendous but I could not get them to tell me the ingredients.,This wasn’t what we were expecting, texture-wise, but the flavor is wonderful. The peas and lentils completely disintegrated during their three-hour boil, so we found this recipe to be a complex, richly-flavored broth rather than the thick pea soup we anticipated. To make it thicker, we added cubed potatoes and cubed ham at the same time we added the sauteed onions. We also served it with a sprinkling of scallions. Because we didn’t have cheesecloth, we put the spices in a large tea ball, and that worked great.,I fixed this in the crockpot today. Since I did not have cheesecloth, I took a paper coffee filter and put the spices in that and tied it up with some strong quilters thread. Worked great!!! As I was retrieving the bones out of the pot the aroma of the first spices smelled so good. I could not resist and had to try some of the meat. It has a nice flavor at this point. There was not much evaporation using the crockpot, so I only add enough water to bring it back up to 10-12 cups. Very good soup I loved all the flavors. If you let the soup cool some before you eat it you can taste even more of the flavors. Thank you William for a great recipe.
