There is no other way I would like to enjoy a chilly night than with a warm bowl of soup. Nutritious, hearty, and full of flavor, this Vegan Gluten Free Split Pea Soup is simple and only requires one pot. Great for those nights that you want something quick and easy, with minimal clean up, this dish is it. Packed with fiber, protein, and vegetables, this recipe a complete, perfectly-balanced meal. *I love using this Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Enameled Cast Iron 7-Quart Round Covered Casserole Pot to make my soups. It retains heat and is easy to clean.
