Gluten Free Vegan Split Pea Soup

My 2 year old loves split pea and lentil soup. I’ve been buying 2-3 cans from Trader Joes weekly since he went on solid foods. They are $2 each. Today I decided that I would crock pot a batch of homemade soup and freeze it for him to have for his lunches. The cost of the recipe in total was maybe $6 and that’s with the 2 cans of broth I used. Those can get pricey.
This one batch of gluten free vegan split pea soup soup fed us dinner (my husband had 2 bowls) and had 3 servings (2 year old size) to freeze and a large serving for my husbands lunch tomorrow.
I would say that’s a score. Not to mention I can’t eat the Trader Joes version because it contains wheat.
When my husband saw the soup the first thing he asked for was my GF French bread. Luckily I had an extra loaf from last week.
Here’s the recipe…
