Peas are one of the oldest crops cultivated by humans, having been eaten in some form as early as 9000 b. C. E. Split pea soup has been traced back to ancient greek and roman societies. Also, you may even remember it from the popular mother goose nursery rhyme, "Pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold, " Which is a nod to the versatility of the dish. This recipe is made from dried yellow peas that have been peeled and split. This vegetarian hot soup recipe is perfect for cold days, lean budgets, or anyone looking for a heartily healthy vegan dish for lunch or dinner.
