I wanted to make a spilt pea soup. The same one that I use to eat at my grandma place when I was visiting her during my childwood. Strangely that was one of the only green soup I could eat. Because green soup means vegetables so Yeks !
I was missing this soup so much and if sometimes I have the chance to eat it at friends’ place or in restaurants … That was the first time I was making some at home ! Now that’s done and that’s even better that any orange soups that I love. From far !
But what a story ! I had never really seen split pea in fact. Or at least not I can recall. I think that I only saw them mashed or blended in soup. So I had a wrong idea about what they look like … I was looking near frozen products or next to fresh green peas … Until I got a call from my grandma .. We had a great lauf and I found them next to the lentils the next day !
All of that just for a soup but a soup … A delight together with some fried bread, sourdough bread baked in a wood-oven, made with spelt flour.

I made this in an electric pressure cooker with 1 quart of homemade vegetable/chicken broth instead of water. It worked very well and I just added a little cream. We ate it with Baguette and caprese. So good on a chilly evening!!!
