Here's a lovely golden soup that's very thick and satisfying. Green split peas can be substituted for the yellow, if you prefer, but may need a slightly longer cooking time. A dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream for a garnish provides a tangy contrast to the earthy soup.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Instant bouillon is a commercially prepared dehydrate that's a quick, easy way to flavor soups and stews. Instant beef, chicken and vegetable bouillon is available in jars as granules or cubes and is found in the soup section of supermarkets. Instant bouillon can be substituted for canned or homemade broth by dissolving 1 teaspoon of granules or 1 cube per cup of hot water.
