This yellow split pea soup is a flavor and protein powerhouse. just one small bowl offers 17 grams of plant-powered protein. yellow peas are packed with fiber, protein, and oodles of micronutrients, and they're one of my favorite ingredients to add to winter stews and soups. if the protein count doesn't entice you, the taste most certainly will. this soup uses rich, warming spices to yield layers of flavor that will keep your taste buds entertained. it's kind of like warm sunshine in soup form, and just looking at it perks up my energy level.
