This is one of those soups that is great for fall and winter cravings for something warm and savory! I use the habanero flavored pork rinds because I like it very spicy but you can use whichever ones best suits your taste.

How To Make mimi's pureed vegetable pea soup

  • Step 1
    Wash green split peas and lentils, set aside to drain. Saute the chopped ham, minced onion and garlic in the coconut oil til translucent and meat slightly browned.
  • Step 2
    Add the water, peas, carrots and seasonings. Simmer on medium heat, adding water as needed to keep it above the beans about 1/4 inch. Cook until peas are tender.
  • Step 3
    Add the spinach and pork rinds, cook 15-30 minutes longer. Turn the heat off and let cool down a bit, to be able to remove the soup, cups at a time and puree in a blender or food processor..
  • Step 4
    Return the pureed soup back into the pot and the coconut milk in, heat back up and season to your personal taste. I often will add basil or oregano or little more salt. Serve with your favorite crackers!
