Step 1

Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add onions to the skillet and cook until softened for 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 2

Add ALL spices to skillet, stirring and fully coating onions for about 60 seconds. Remove from heat and transfer cooked onions into slow cooker.

Step 3

In addition to your seasoned onions, add in yellow split peas, potatoes, water, broth (stock), coconut milk, and squeezed lime into the slow cooker.

Step 4

Cover and cook on high for 5- 6 hours until peas are tender or 7-8 hours on low. You can check midway to adjust seasonings to your liking. Your peas will "split" and your soup will be of a puree texture.

Step 5

Once done serve with your choice of rice, naan bread, or additional veggies.
