Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup split peas

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Instructions

  • Rinse and sort the split peas to remove any debris. Soak them in water for a couple of hours if desired.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions, garlic, carrots, and celery and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in the rinsed split peas and thyme, coating the peas with the vegetable mixture.
  • Add the vegetable broth to the pot, along with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the split peas are tender.
  • For a smoother texture, blend part of the soup or leave it as is for a chunkier consistency.
  • Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread!
