Yam and split pea soup with fresh ginger

8 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Dried split peas
3 mediums Yams, peeled and diced
3 Leeks, diced
2 tablespoons Sliced fresh ginger
4 Celery stalks, diced
3 Carrots, diced
1 teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoons Braggs aminos
Water
⅛ teaspoon Cayenne pepper

Directions

Place all the ingredients except the cayenne pepper in a large pot.

Add water so that there are 2 inches of water over the vegetables.

Cover, bring to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer for 2 hours, or until all the ingredients are mushy. Stir often to prevent sticking.

If the soup becomes too thick while it is cooking, add some boiling water, or your can thin it with a bit of water at the end of the cooking time for a lighter soup. Add cayenne pepper, adjust the seasonings, and serve.
