Hi there, and happy Sunday! With cooler days upon us, thereās no better time to enjoy a warm, comforting bowl of my Split Pea & Swiss Chard Soup. Itās nourishing, simple and packed with seasonal goodness.
Why Split Peas?
Split peas are a pantry staple thatās budget-friendly, protein-packed and available year-round at most grocery stores. They cook down into a creamy base, perfect for hearty soups. Plus, theyāre loaded with fiber, making them a plant-based powerhouse.
Spotlight on Swiss Chard
Swiss chard is in peak season now! This vibrant leafy green adds a pop of color and a mild, earthy flavor to soups, sautƩs and salads. Its tender leaves and crunchy stems are rich in vitamins A, C and K.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Soup:
Layer your flavors: SautĆ© onions, shallot, garlic and carrots, thenĀ your dry herbs, just before adding your split peas for extra depth. This is an oil free recipe so keep some water nearby.
Include the chard stems: Chop them finely and cook with your aromaticsātheyāre too nutritious to waste! These are perfect in a salad as well.
š Brighten it up: A squeeze of lemon at the end enhances the flavors and balances the richness.

Stay warm and nourished!
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to ātry outā the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. Iāve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
