How to Make Seaweed And Split Pea Soup

  1. Rinse 1 cup of dried split peas and soak in plenty of water overnight (or at least 4 hours).
  2. Drain the soaked split peas and place them in a large pot. Cover with about 6 cups of fresh water and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the split peas are tender but not mushy.
  4. While the peas simmer, place 2 tablespoons of dried wakame in a bowl and cover with cold water. Let it soak for about 10 minutes to rehydrate.
  5. Finely chop 1 medium carrot and 1/2 medium onion.
  6. Drain the wakame, discarding the tough center stem, and roughly chop the seaweed.
  7. Add the chopped carrots, onion, and wakame to the pot with the simmering split peas.
  8. Continue to simmer for another 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. Remove the soup from the heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tahini and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce (or tamari). Season with salt to taste.
  10. Serve the soup immediately. Garnish with extra seaweed or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
