The Veggie Whistle Hearty Soup is another name for “Fart Soup” or “Bring on number two’s”! My intent of the recipe was to create a soup packed with so much goodness to boost immune, packed with protein, loaded with veggies and feel amazing! Well, there is a bonus, it will seriously clean you out! Yes, it will! The fibre of the ingredients combined are a natural way to flush through any bowel issues as well as nourishment. We joked in our family about the “fart soup”, however, was not sure Google would appreciate my title 🙂
This soup is a throw together in a pot on a Sunday afternoon to set and forget. It will magically come together and give you a big hug every time you enjoy a mouthful. Just a reminder to enjoy maybe one just bowl at a time, otherwise there could be concquences!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it ticks all the boxes for flavour, protein, fibre and all your weekly consumption of veggies!
Ingredients
A handful of ingredients will create the most delicious rissole!
- Dried Split Peas: No need to soak, no time!
- Garlic: Because garlic always makes things better.
- Mixed Beans: Red Kidney, Borlotti, Cannellini, Broad, Lentils, Chickpeas – choose your favorite
- Veggies: Whatever you have left in the fridge or if you need to buy for the recipe, I suggest spinach, carrot, zucchini, capsicum, brocolli
- Vegan or Chicken Stock: Homemade or powder, whatever you have on hand to make this as easy as possible
- PRO TIP: I always double the batch because one pot is never enough!
You may be familiar with Split Green Peas if you have made Pea & Ham Soup. This is the same base except it’s a vegetarian and vegan option!
Instructions
.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to boil.
- Add the split peas, the diced veggies and the stock. Simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. The green peas will soften and combine beautifully with the veggies creating a thick warm soup.
- Season with salt and pepper! Option to add a dallop of sour cream, fresh chili and serve with gluten free toast.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add more beans or just one can?
For the sake of your bowels, one can of beans is plenty. There is no need to drain the beans, open and pour them in
How will I know when the Soup is cooked?
It will combine beautifully and the split peas will soften to create a thick texture.
Do I need to make my own broth?
Not necessarily. I have a broth recipe on my website or just buy the powder if you have no time.
