  • 2 tbsp Olive oil You can substitute other fat, including butter, ghee, or coconut oil. Avoid highly processed vegetable oils.

  • 1 Clove garlic, minced with skins on More can be added if you wish a stronger garlic flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp Ground turmeric
  • 1/2 cup Yellow split peas or yellow mung dal
  • 2 quarts Water

Instructions

  • Warm the olive oil in a medium soup pot on a stove burner set to medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until the onions are soft and translucent. This process takes approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant. This process takes about 1 minute.
  • Add turmeric and stir well to coat the onions and garlic before sautéing. This process takes around 1 minute.
  • Add the yellow split peas or yellow mung dal to the soup pot. Stir the contents well with the other ingredients.
  • Add water to the soup pot and stir well. Bring the contents of the soup pot up to a boil. Cover the soup pot, turn the heat down to the low setting, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, turn the heat off. Transfer the soup pot from the stove burner to a heatproof surface.
  • Strain out the solids from the broth. (See video.)
  • As an alternative to straining out the solids, you can purée the broth with the solids to create a creamy golden broth that you can use as a base for cream soups.
  • The broth is ready to use. Alternatively, you can store the broth in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 2 months.

Notes

You can add additional herbs and spices to this broth when making it. However, I have found that keeping the preparation simple creates a broth that is exceptionally versatile for use in a myriad of recipes.
