One downside of my current living situation is the lack of a kitchen. I have a dorm room and while there is a common room there is not a common kitchen. So when I came out here I packed up a slow cooker/rice cooker so that I wouldn't have to eat every meal out of a microwave or at a restaurant. I also brought a bunch of dried beans and peas and rice and fun things to cook! I will be, on occasion, posting fun things that I cook with my unkitchen, these will be for the most part one pot easy prep meals because I can't really do much else.
Veggie Pea Soup
Ingredients:
1 carrot
1 celery stalk
1 small green pepper
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 small white onion
1 tbsp oil (I used vegetable oil)
1 vegan veggie bullion cube
1/2 pound dried green split peas
salt and pepper to taste
Supplies:
Rice cooker
Immersion blender
Dice carrot, celery, pepper, garlic and onion. Put oil into cooker and turn cooker on to heat the oil. Put the chopped veggies into the pot to cook until onions caramelize. Turn off cooker and carefully spoon the veggies from the cooker into the immersion blender. Add a little water and blend until you have a paste. Add paste back to the cooker with 1/2 pound of rinsed green peas with bullion and add 3 cups of water. Cook until peas are soft, adding in more water as necessary. Salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
