Vegan Swedish Split Pea Soup (Ärtsoppa)

Ingredients

• 2 cups Dried Yellow Split Peas
• 8 cups Vegetable Broth
• 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 1 tsp Dried Marjoram
• 1 large Yellow Onion
• 2 medium Carrot
• 8 oz Vegan Ham
• 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Measure 2 cups of dried yellow split peas and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear. Place the rinsed 2 cups of dried yellow split peas into a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
2. 2Add the 8 cups of vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon of dried marjoram to the pot with the split peas. Peel and finely chop the 1 large yellow onion and peel and chop the 2 medium carrots into 1/2-inch pieces, then add them to the pot.
3. 3Bring the mixture in the pot to a rolling boil over high heat, approximately 212°F (100°C). Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the 2 cups of dried yellow split peas are very tender and starting to break down. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. 4During the last 15 minutes of the simmering time, add the 8 ounces of vegan ham, cut into bite-sized pieces, to the pot. Continue to simmer until the vegan ham is heated through.
5. 5Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
6. 6Serve the vegan Swedish split pea soup hot.
