Servings: 4 Preparation Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 1 cup chopped onions
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 1/2 cup rinsed and picked green split peas
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon cumin seed
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 pound ground beef cooked and seasoned with sausage seasoning

In a large pot add coconut oil and set on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add celery, carrots, onions and salt. Cook the vegetables until the onions are translucent, 5-7 minutes.

Add split peas, broth, turmeric, cumin and pepper. Stir to combine all seasonings, turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for an hour – stirring occasionally. Add the seasoned and cook ground beef and let simmer for 10 minutes. Enjoy.

Variation: Add 1/3 cup barley and 1/4 cup lentils with the split peas.
