I’m back at it with the pressure cooker for this Spooky Split Pea Soup recipe. But, never fear. If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can still make this recipe. I’ve got both versions of the recipe below.
Of course, if you’d rather, you can join me on YouTube and watch how I whip this one up in no time. Too, I show you how to make it extra festive with all that garnish.
Spooky Split Pea Soup
The first few times I tried making split pea soup back in the day, they were super thick and pasty. Not the smooth, hearty, silky soup that you see here today. The trick is knowing the proper proportion of liquid to peas.
I love to load the soup up with aromatics like garlic and fennel. I also finish the soup with some fresh spinach and additional fresh peas before blending so that it’s extra green in color.
And, great news is that this recipe is also gluten free! Just be sure to check the ingredients in your bouillon to make sure it’s full GF friendly.
The most fun part of this recipe, though, is decorating it before serving. You could definitely get creative, but I used sour cream to create a web and sprinkled on crispy bacon, peas and corn.
Happy Halloween and stay safe out there!
