Jamaican-Style Yellow Split Pea Soup
This mildly spicy soup is a lighter, brighter version of a Jamaican split pea stew typically flavored with salted pork. Unrefined coconut oil lends subtle coconut notes, but regular refined coconut oil works fine. To make the dish vegetarian, use water instead of chicken broth. Though unconventional, we liked the soup garnished with a spoonful of plain yogurt.

Tip
Don't chop or mince the chili or the soup will be too spicy. Don't forget to remove and discard the chili before serving.

I have been watching Christopher Kimball for over 18 years. I've been a susbscriber since 2018. Every recipe is awesome and very delicious. My electric pressure cooker was dirty, so I made this in my stovetop pressure cooker. I got the same results; this recipe is so good. Thank you for the endless, easy recipes for those of us short on time and on a budget.
