This thick split pea soup with lean smoked sausage is a Dutch classic in a lighter, more balanced version. The split peas cook down naturally into a thick, comforting soup where your spoon stands upright. With carrot, leek, celery and slices of lean smoked sausage it becomes a complete, warming meal for cold days.

In Phase 4 it's about maintenance and balance, and this split pea soup fits nicely there. The split peas deliver plant-based protein and slow-release carbs and fibre, whilst the lean smoked sausage adds extra protein without unnecessary fat. That combination makes the soup satisfying and well-balanced, exactly what a protein diet needs in the maintenance phase.

Lovely with a thin slice of wholemeal rye bread and a little bit of mustard alongside, as it should be. A pinch of freshly ground pepper and some finely chopped leek as garnish round off the soup perfectly.

Zo maak je het

  1. Bring the split peas to the boil with the stock and skim off any foam.
  2. Add the onion, carrot and celery and cook for 30 minutes until the peas fall apart.
  3. Stir through the leek and cook for another 10 minutes.
  4. Add the smoked sausage and warm through for 5 minutes.
  5. Season with pepper and salt and serve thick and hot.

Bewaren

Store the soup covered in the fridge for up to 3 days, it will thicken further and taste even better after a night. Thin with a little stock when reheating. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Variatietips

Try replacing the lean smoked sausage with pieces of chicken fillet or leave it out for a vegetarian version. Smoked bacon pieces or a little thyme will give the soup a deeper, smokier flavour.
