Split Pea & Sweet Potato Soup

split pea_sweet potato_soup1

My brother suggested to me a few years ago that it might be helpful to create a list of things I like about winter, to help me get through the long cold months. This split pea soup is perfect on a cold wintry day and it definitely deserves a spot that list. That said, I actually eat this soup all year round! Why wait for winter :)

It’s comfort food at its best and there is something incredibly satisfying about a bowl of this wholesome soup.

All you need is some yellow split peas, sweet potatoes and a few spices. Sometimes the simple things are the best!
