Ingredients Needed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 2 cups chopped carrot
- 2 cups finely chopped celery
- 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 cup yellow split peas (about 6 oz)
- 1 cup green split peas (about 6 oz)
- 8 cups fat-free chicken broth (about 2 quarts)
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt-free seasoning blend
- 1 teaspoon salt
How To Make Garlic Soup
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients.
- Cook Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook and stir for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add Broth and Split Peas: Stir in the chicken broth, both yellow and green split peas, and seasoning blend. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 ½ hours until the split peas are tender.
- Puree Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.
- Serve: Serve the smooth and hearty soup warm!
Recipe Tips
- Cook the vegetables until soft: This ensures the flavors blend well and creates a smooth texture when pureed.
- Use fresh split peas: Dry split peas work best for this recipe, so avoid using canned or frozen peas.
- Don’t skip the simmering time: Let the soup simmer for at least 2 ½ hours to fully cook the split peas and bring out the flavors.
- Taste and adjust seasoning: Depending on your broth, you may need to add a little more salt or seasoning.
- Puree carefully: If you want a chunkier texture, blend for a shorter time; for smooth soup, blend until fully pureed.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Store leftover garlic soup in an airtight container. It will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Place leftover garlic soup in an airtight container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: Reheat leftover garlic soup on the stove over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until hot. You can also use a microwave, heating in intervals of 1-2 minutes, stirring in between.
