OK...I made this soup the other night and took all my own photos...but NONE of them look anywhere near as good as the photo from the magazine!
This is theirs:
And this is how mine ended up looking:

So I just thought I would give you the link to this recipe: Smoky Split Pea Soup
I found it in Vegetarian Times...I think a friend had given me a couple of her old issues.
It is a VERY healthy soup. I have always loved split peas...so if you don't, this might not be for you! I had a hard time getting my split peas as soft as I wanted, so I would recommend letting them soak all day and overnight and then use them the next evening for your soup. Next time I make it, I am going to try blending a little bit of the soup and then stirring it back in for a more creamy texture. My blender was all taken apart for cleaning yesterday, so I didn't want to bother.
This soup is very easy...you just have to remember to start your peas soaking the DAY BEFORE you want to use them. I just put them in a bowl, covered them with water, and then left them alone!
One more note: I would recommend topping with parmesan cheese (that's what we did). It just gives it a little extra flavor. Oh...and DON'T lick the spoon that you use to scoop up your chopped chipotles 'cuz those things are HOT! ; )
