Split Pea Soup Recipe

This split pea soup is a model of Moroccan food simplicity.

Another soup that costs pennies, takes minutes, and tastes like a million bucks!

My Moroccan Split Pea Soup is vegetarian without even trying

But you could never tell: it is so much richer than the sum of its plebeian parts!

Listen to what my friend Chaya Minna (Helen) Schwimmer wrote me about the soup: “Moroccan split pea soup is the new Jewish penicillin! I have been cooking chicken soup for my family for almost forty years, but it has been displaced by your Moroccan split pea soup. We all love it, from our three-year-old granddaughter to her grandfather and everyone in between. When I brought a serving over to a neighbor who was ill and she found that it was the only food she could tolerate, I gladly made her a batch each week. It is definitely the new chicken soup in our house!”
