Description

This Palouse Soup Mix is the ultimate pantry staple for creating rustic, comforting bowls of soup in minutes. Inspired by the agricultural heartland of the Palouse region, this blend combines protein-rich green split peas and lentils with hearty pearl barley and pasta for a satisfying texture. The addition of dried celery, parsley, thyme, and white pepper ensures that every spoonful is bursting with savory, herbal flavor. This mix is incredibly versatile; use it to make a quick vegan meal or stir in cooked meat for added richness. It stores beautifully in a jar, making it a thoughtful, homemade gift for friends and family. Simply add water or stock and simmer to unlock a deep, home-style warmth that feels like a hug in a bowl. Perfect for busy weeknights or chilly evenings when you need nourishment without the fuss.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine green split peas, lentils, pearl barley, macaroni (or brown rice), celery flakes, parsley flakes, thyme, and white pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the herbs and spices among the grains and legumes.
  3. Transfer the dry mix into a clean, dry jar with a tight-fitting lid for storage.
  4. To prepare soup, combine 1 cup of the soup mix with 4 cups of water or seasoned vegetable stock in a large pot.
  5. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently.
  7. Simmer for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the peas, lentils, and barley are tender and the soup has thickened.
  8. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt if desired, adjusting seasoning to taste before serving.
