I just purchased a bag of split peas, now how can i prepare them?

[Bethanie]

:) I love split pea soup, can anyone tell me how i can make it raw?
I use to buy the frozen peas but this time i have the bag. Our temp. is really falling here and a nice big bowl would really hit the spot.
Thank you for the help.

As far as I know, you can't prepare it raw.

I thought maybe i could soak them and blend them but i guess not.
You've been a help, thank you.

Try sprouting them and report back. :)

You can not sprout split peas. Once you cut any bean or grain it can not be brought back to life. But you could use fresh green peas to make a soup. Try this: 1/2 cup walnuts soaked, 3 cups fresh green peas, 2 cups of filtered water, 3 stalks celery, 1/2 teaspoon celtic sea salt. Blend everything except for the peas until smooth. Add peas to soup and dehydrate until peas soften a bit. Another option would be to puree all the peas or part of the peas. You could substitute coconut water for filtered water if you wish.

I hope you like this.
