Split pea green pea soup is a fresh, bright variation on heavy split pea soup. It is vegan, high in protein, and both easy & frugal to make.
Split peas are packed with protein, complex carbohydrates (high fiber, low sugar), and iron, all of which the body needs for replenishing from hard work (note: this applies to other winter sports, such as shoveling snow from your driveway and trekking across campus or across town!). Oh, and they are cheap, too. Yay, split peas!
But I have a solution: add more peas! Specifically, frozen green peas, which add natural sweetness and springtime vibrancy to this otherwise winter-wonderful soup. Green onions and mint further heighten the verdant nature of the soup, as well as the fresh clean flavors.

The green peas are also a fantastic way to get a hearty dose of vitamin C (97% of daily needs per serving!) in the depths of winter–antioxidant power for accelerated recovery, not to mention glowing skin–and the iron from the split peas helps with its absorption, maximizing the benefits. Easy (I like easy, don’t you?). Green peas are also rich in B vitamins, calcium, iron and zinc.
