Split Pea Soup

This is another tasty soup from Tal Ronnen. This vegan split pea soup is hearty and has a wonderful smokey flavor. If I'm in a rush, I'll skip the tempeh bacon. It's a fantastic addition, but not necessary.

His original recipe also calls for a chipotle crema. Again, I skip that for simplicity, but recommend you get his book and make it entirely as he recommends at least once! It's a delight, but not for a quick weeknight soup. This is a quick and easy version.

If you are going with the tempeh bacon and you're gluten-free be sure to check out the ingredients.
