FAQ
Is this soup suitable for vegetarians?
It contains chicken sausage; for a vegetarian version, omit the sausage or use plant-based sausage and use vegetable broth.
How long does it take to make?
About 45–60 minutes, including 15–20 minutes of prep and 30–40 minutes of simmering.
Is it gluten-free?
Split peas and chicken sausage are generally gluten-free, but some sausages contain gluten as fillers; check labels or choose a gluten-free sausage and make sure the broth is gluten-free.
Can I freeze leftovers?
Yes, cool and store in portions; it will keep in the freezer for up to about 3 months; thaw in the fridge and reheat gently.
Can I add vegetables?
Yes—carrots, celery, spinach, kale, or corn work well; add harder vegetables at the start and greens toward the end.
How thick should the soup be?
Aim for a hearty but pourable consistency; add more broth if too thick or simmer uncovered to thicken.
Is it high in fiber?
Yes, split peas provide fiber; together with the sausage it also provides protein and satiety.
What if I can't find chicken sausage?
Use other sausage such as turkey or pork, or omit the sausage; add extra beans to keep protein and adjust salt.
What herbs or spices pair well with this soup?
Bay leaf, thyme, garlic, and onion; finish with parsley; season with salt and pepper to taste.
