Reposting this classic for those of you looking for high protein, low cal options: Easy Pea Soup is 213 calories & 18 g protein

from the original (reposted with permission):

1.5 cups pictured. 142 calories per cup of soup. This is so cheap too, only $1 for a bag of split peas!

To make 11 cups of soup:

* cook 1 lb bag of split peas according to directions (used 6 cups of water to 1 lb peas)
* about 3/4 way through cooking add 2 T of “No Chicken” Better than Bouillon When finished take out a portion of peas, puree and put back in pot.
* sauté 1/2 onion, 3 chopped carrots, 1/2 c frozen corn, 1 chopped mini sweet pepper
* add veggies & and 7 T of nutritional yeast to cooked peas and stir. Salt and pepper to taste. If you don’t like nutritional yeast you can leave it out. I just added it for bonus protein, but the peas themselves are already high in protein.

>I estimated the bread to be 100 cals, but not sure. The bread cals are not included in the 213 cals for the soup, obviously.

**edit – others made the suggestion to add liquid smoke or smoked paprika and I think either would be a great addition.**

I absolutely love pea soup. It might be my favorite! This looks like a great version 🙂

Wow, it looks amazing!

^(Is this the place to complain about how many store bought pea soups have ham in them?)

Make sure you eat it before it eats you
