Creamy Split Pea Coconut Soup
Split Pea soup is one of those recipes that takes me down memory lane. My pops and I have never had a tight relationship, but he knows how to make bomb split pea soup. Here is my twist on his recipe with a Caribbean vibe. I added coconut cream, habanero pepper, lime, fresh cilantro, and toasted coconut. Keep this on heavy rotation during the Fall and Winter; it will keep you warm and full all season. Peace
