  • 1 large carrot, diced (1 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped gingerroot
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups dried yellow split peas, sorted, rinsed
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 red jalapeño chili, seeded, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk (not cream of coconut)

  • 1/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated lime peel

Steps

  • 1
    In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook bell pepper, onion, carrot, gingerroot, garlic and chili in oil, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender.
  • 2
    Stir in all remaining soup ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 25 to 35 minutes or until peas and potatoes are tender.

    In small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients until blended. Top each serving with sauce.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Coconut milk is made from the flesh of coconut, not the thin liquid found inside the ripe fruit. It's also a very popular addition to curries.
  • tip 2
    Save yourself some time by grabbing a jar of grated gingerroot found in the grocery produce section. It's a quick way to add zest to your meals!
