Solar cooker recipes: Split Pea and Potato Soup

Well, today’s solar cooker recipe is one that everybody should try, if he or she didn’t already do it: split pea and potato soup. Cooked with the sun! Now, that’s something you should try right away!

So, how do you actually do it?

Well, you need the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup split peas (frequently sold in bulk bins)
  • 1 bouillon cube (chicken, beef, vegetable, etc.) or 1 teaspoon bouillon broth powder
  • 1/2 cup diced potato pieces

Put peas, potatoes, and bouillon in 32 oz. black-painted mason jar. Or, if using a 26 oz. jar, use only 3/4 cup of split peas. Fill jar with water to within 1 inch of neck line. Seal with black-painted ring and lid (oil the inside parts of the lid and ring first). Cooks in 2.5 to 8 hours depending on conditions, solar cooker type, etc.

Note that texture of soup will vary with cooking time. Thoroughly cooked pea soup will have almost no pea chunks in it - they all dissolve! So watch the soup carefully after the first 1.5 hours if you like your soup with a few remaining split peas.

Putting all the ingredients together should not take you more than a few minutes, so a solar cooker recipe that will give you plenty of time to do anything else you may need to do beside cooking with the sun :-)

Well, was it difficult? I think not. And most of all, it is tasty and fast to prepare. Now you just need to wait for it to be ready! Enjoy!
