    Not a vegan (but flex), but thought I would post it here since it fits the requirements. It's super easy and good for you:

    8 cups water
    3 vegetable bouillon cubes (or enough to make 3 cups broth)
    2 cups dried split peas
    2 carrots, peeled and chopped
    2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
    1-2 cloves fresh garlic, peeled and chopped
    1 tsp thyme
    1 tsp sage
    1 tsp ground mustard
    3 bay leaves

    Throw it all in the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours. I cooked it for 8 myself as I like it reallllly creamy. Make sure to take out the bay leaves before serving. Needed to add a little salt to the first bowl I made, but that's just my preference. I just love split pea soup, no matter the season. :)

    It's supposed to be, though I used fresh thyme from my garden and it turned out just as good.

    Superman was originally "Souperman"; he derived his amazing strength from vegetable broth, and split peas is what made him fly.

    Yes, I'm kidding, but it is true that Andy Warhol painted those famous soup cans because it's what he had for lunch every day for 20 years! Evidently, soup is the secret to artistic genius.

    Add two cups of sprouted green lentils and 2 tablespoons tamari and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring. Serve with a dash of cayenne pepper on top and warm, crusty bread.
