Split Pea and Wild Rice Soup

Here is the recipe I promised yesterday.

The recipe title is a bit deceptive because it only says "wild" rice. I actually used a rice mixture I purchased from Costco earlier in the year, but they aren't currently carrying. It has red rice and brown rice in it, in addition to the wild rice.

When I want to make the recipe again I will most likely either use just wild rice or wild rice and brown rice, unless Costco is carrying the rice mix again.

Here is what I used:

9 cups chicken broth
1 lb dry green split peas
1 cup rice mix
1 Tablespoon onion powder (could use one onion chopped)
1 teaspoon garlic granules (could use 1 minced garlic clove)


I then cooked it on high pressure for 20 minutes in my pressure cooker. I really think this could be done on low in a slow cooker as well.

One note, the day after when we reheated it, it was VERY thick. I could have thinned it back down with some more chicken broth, but I didn't. I ate it like it was a casserole instead. Next time I might try to either reduce the amount of peas and rice or increase the amount of broth. Let me know if you try it with more broth and get leftovers that are more soup like.
