Protein from split peas, chickpeas, peanut butter, and red lentils. Low-carb from yams. Sooo yummy, nutritious, and cheap. This makes a large batch, but just try to have some left for the freezer. A winner!

  • yellow split peas: 2 cups
  • yams: 5 piece (diced)
  • sweet onion (such as Vidalia®): 3 piece (chopped)

  2. Combine drained split peas, yams, onions, and red lentils in a large pot. Pour in enough water to cover by 1 inch. Stir in garlic and ginger. Bring to a boil; skim foam off the top with a slotted spoon. Simmer until yams are very tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
