the ingredients

  • YELLOW SPLIT PEA – has the same nutritional value as green peas. They also cook the same time. However, the yellow split pea has more of the earthy flavor and the green pea is sweeter. It’s also called soup pea, dry pea, or Matar Dal. It belongs to the family of sno-pea and sugar snap pea. 
  • SHREDDED COOKED CHICKEN – is the best way to add more protein to this soup. You can use rotisserie chicken, or buy 2 medium size chicken breast and cook through.
  • DRIED HERBS – tarragon, smoked paprika, thyme, and garlic powder
  • AROMATICS AND VEGGIES – onion, garlic, tomatoes, carrot, celery, and potatoes.
  • CHICKEN BROTH – has more flavor than just using plain water.
  • SOY SAUCE – adds umami flavor to this dish.
