Split pea soup is pure comfort food for many and it's surprisingly easy to make at home. Yellow peas are traditional for French Canadian pea soup, but feel free to use green if that's what you have. I had been eating split pea soup for at least half my life before I realized it was not traditionally a vegetarian soup. Growing up, my mom made it from, well, tubes from the grocery store that included. I like to finish each bowl with a generous drizzle of golden olive oil, a few flecks of lemon zest, and a dusting of smoked paprika to give the soup some smoky depth.
