The ingredients for Spicy Split Pea Soup are:

2 cups dried split peas, rinsed, picked over
Fresh boiling water, just enough to cover the dried split peas 3 cloves garlic, chopped
5 cups light tasting vegetable broth
1 to 2 teaspoons Thai Kitchen Green Curry Paste, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper chile flakes, or to taste
1 14-oz. can coconut milk
1/3 cup jarred jalape?os, drained and chopped
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Here is how you make Spicy Split Pea Soup:

Place the split peas in a rice cooker (or Crock Pot) and cover with boiling water. Turn the cooker on low. If you are using a heavy soup pot on the stove, cover the pot, turn the burner on at the lowest setting. Hot soak the peas like this for one hour. Drain. Place the soaked peas back into the rice cooker/Crock Pot or heavy bottomed soup pot and add the chopped garlic, broth, curry, Old Bay Seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the liquid is reduced and the peas are so tender they break apart with a wooden spoon- about an hour. If you'd rather cook this soup on the stove top, place the soaked peas, garlic, broth, curry, Old Bay Seasoning and red pepper flakes in a soup pot and bring to a gentle simmer; cook until the liquid is reduced a bit and the peas are soft- about an hour. Stir in the coconut milk and gently heat through. If you like your pea soup thick, keep simmering, and reduce the liquid to your liking. If it needs more liquid, thin with water. Serve in shallow warmed bowls, with a spoonful of pickled jalape?os in the center of the soup. Serves 4. Optional garnishes: Chopped fresh cilantro Chopped jalape?os Red pepper flakes Sour cream or vegan sour cream Corn tortilla crispsNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user DIETITIANMEGHAN.
