I am not a Vegan but don’t let that discourage you from making this delicious soup. Hope I haven’t lost you with that opening statement. Yay, you’re still here! Awesome! Everyone will enjoy this soup on a cold winter day. Some bread on the side would be awesome as well. It’s so easy to make and really requires almost no effort at all.
I added very few spices but you can certainly spice it up and add as many as you’d like. Cumin and chili powder made it taste amazing and didn’t really need anything else other than salt and pepper. Give this a try even if you aren’t vegan. You won’t be disappointed.

I followed your recipe for the spicy vegan split pea soup and I really liked the flavor. I made mine very creamy the way I like it and the flavor was wonderful. Very tasty with the spices. It was very cold tonight in Virginia and I decided to make this soup after coming home from work.
I have leftovers for two more days. Thank you for the recipe. I plan to make it again.
So glad you enjoyed it Wilma, this is one of my older recipes and completely forgot about it but I’ll be making it soon as well 🙂
