Ingredients

• 1 bag dried whole green peas, soaked overnight

• 1 tbsp no-beef broth paste

• 1½ tsp liquid smoke

• 1 tsp adobo powder

• 1 tsp garlic powder

1. Rinse and drain the soaked peas.

2. Add peas to the crockpot with broth paste, liquid smoke, adobo, garlic powder, and salt. Stir well and pour in the water.

3. Cook on low for 1 hour, until peas are soft and tender.

4. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more water or broth if needed.

5. Turn off heat and blend directly in the pot with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. Leave on warm until ready to serve.

6. Serve topped with fresh herbs, nutritional yeast, vegan sour cream, and croutons or bread.
