Hi, I'm Chef Rich Marsh. Today we'll be
0:04
preparing a hearthealthy split pea soup.
0:07
Okay, let's get started. First thing you
0:08
want to do on your soup is pre pre uh
0:10
preheat your pan. You're going to start
0:13
off with your oil in the pan. Two
0:18
And then you want to start with your
0:21
Onions, carrots, and celery will go in.
0:26
no water. They're just going to go in
0:30
Start it off. Give it a stir. You want
0:33
to make sure you're moving your uh your
0:34
mirqua. So, you don't really want any
0:36
color. You don't want anything to turn
0:37
brown. The uh the sugar will start to
0:39
cook out of the onions and turn brown,
0:41
what we call caramelizing. You don't
0:43
want that to happen in the soup. But
0:44
when you see that your vegetables are
0:46
starting to get translucent, you're
0:48
going to add your garlic. Otherwise,
0:50
your garlic will brown before your uh
0:51
before your vegetables cook. Hear that
0:53
sound? That's our vegetables. They're
0:58
Okay. Okay, at this point we'll add our
1:02
And the same thing, you want that to
1:04
cook a little bit, but you do not want
1:06
it to uh do not want it to turn brown at
1:08
all. Okay, our mirror paw is becoming
1:10
translucent, which is the point that we
1:11
want to add the broth and the beans.
1:13
First thing I'll go and add in is my
1:15
beans after we pick through them.
1:18
And I'll make sure to uh to stir those
1:20
in. And then we're going right with our
1:22
broth. And again, today I went with an
1:24
organic vegetable broth, very low in
1:30
Okay, broth is in. I'm going to add a
1:31
little bit of ham for flavor. We're
1:33
going to reserve the rest for the uh for
1:35
the end and for plate up. When you're
1:36
selecting your ham, it's very important
1:37
to pick a low sodium ham. Okay, now
1:39
we're going to put the lid on the soup
1:40
and let it come to the simmer. The soup
1:42
needs to simmer for 20 minutes. Okay,
1:44
it's time to finish the soup. It has
1:46
been simmering for 20 minutes. And here
1:48
we go. Now, we're going to season it a
1:49
little bit before we puree it. You want
1:50
to start off with a little bit of salt,
1:54
little bit of parsley
2:09
Okay, now we're going to puree the soup.
2:10
I'm going to do it with an emulsion
2:12
blender, but you can also use your
2:13
household blender. If you're going to do
2:14
that, do it in a couple batches. Let it
2:16
cool down a little bit before you put it
2:18
in. And if it's too hot, the top will
2:19
try try to come off. You could burn
2:27
As you puree your soup, it's going to
2:28
get a nice rich green color.
2:39
And you want it to be a little bit
2:40
hardy. You don't want it pureeed all the
2:42
way. Maybe a few vegetables in there.
2:59
Okay, the soup is pureeed. Now, we're
3:01
going to add some more ham.
3:03
Reserve a little bit of ham for for
3:05
garnish in your in your bowl.
3:09
And now, we're going to plate it up.
3:27
Then before it goes to the table, you
3:29
just want to finish with a little more
3:36
Voila. Split pea soup in 25 minutes.
