Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups split peas
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: diced ham or turkey
  • Instructions

  • Rinse the split peas under running water to remove any dust or debris. Dice the onion, carrots, and garlic.
  • In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the carrots and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in the rinsed split peas and mix well with the sautéed vegetables.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer, uncovered, for about 40-50 minutes or until the peas are soft and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • If desired, remove the bay leaf and blend a portion of the soup for a creamier texture.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of pepper.
