Hi
My recipe for split pea soup is equal amounts yellow and green split peas. I currently have only green. Will that taste good? Does anyone make it with only green and can telll me if it tastes much different? Or looks different?
Whats the difference between them anyways?

Yeah just use green it will be fine
Main thing is to cook them long enough so the peas dissolve

Yellow is slightly lighter texture. Both delicious. If you only have green go with it. When I have both I do half and half

Put a teaspoon of baking soda to make them dissolve more quickly.

I think it does change the flavour slightly
I like the redish soup I don’t like green split pea or brown lentil

What I find works to get the peas to split is cook them in plain water with no other vegetables is spices. Once split add in everything else. This has made a huge difference for me.

Correct
All pulses and lentils should always be cooked without salt. Add salt once they are completely soft.
Salt hardens them.
I use filtered tap water (we have heard water where I live) plus a pinch of baking soda in the cooking water.
Soaking pulses shortens the cooking time. I always soak.
