But did you know there’s more than just switching up the seasonings when it comes to cooking up a delicious spin on split pea soup? You can also switch up the split peas! In this recipe we’re using yellow split peas in place of the more common green split peas. Yellow split peas have a milder, slightly sweeter flavor than green. They’re almost similar to lentils (yellow split pea dal is excellent!). With that in mind, I seasoned this yellow split pea soup with smoky, bright flavors like cumin, smoked paprika, and a bit of lemon juice. It’s absolutely delicious and makes an excellent dinner on cold days!
