Erwtensoup - Dutch Split Pea Soup
Erwtensoep, a traditional Dutch dish also known as pea soup, is a thick and hearty soup made with split peas, celeriac, and leeks, often accompanied by smoked sausage. Traditionally served with rye bread topped with bacon, cheese, or butter, we’ve recreated this comforting winter classic using plant-based alternatives for the traditional ingredients.Servings

Wow! This took me on a trip down memory lane. It really tastes like THE erwtensoep from my childhood. My mom even wanted to taste it, while she normally doesn’t like vegan dishes. We used to use the ‘can the spoon stay upright on its own’ test back in the day to see if the soup is done. This recipe definitely passed that test. 5/5 ⭐️ for this lovely tasting nostalgia.
Delicious and warming winter dish, thank you!
This is so yummy!! Takes me back to the 90s when I was living in Nederland when this was one of my favorite meals!
It's just like the German "Erbsensuppe", traditionally served when you're buying a Christmas tree - at least here in Northern Germany :)
We had to let it cook for about 40 min longer but it was so delicious! Thank you :)
It was delicious! My dutch partner loved it. However, to get the right texture, I had to cook it for 1 hour and half more. Did I do something wrong? Was it necessary maybe to pre-soack the split peas?
Perfect for a typical autumnal rainy sunday 💚
Never a true lover of ‘snert’ myself, someone surprised me as they served it Indonesian style with rice and sambal 🤩 Since then I have been determined to try it out myself. These flavours are exactly right. Thanks so much!!
I did have a small ‘problem’ with the thickness, as it was very soup-y when I finished. The longer I left it alone, the thicker it got, so it was fine in the end. Next time I’ll try to cook every step uncovered, see if that helps.
I've never made it myself but this brings me right back to my childhood. It's a really comforting and hearty winter meal. Dutch dishes don't deserve a "looks award" but a "comfy award" could be in place for this one
Snert! 💚
