Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried split peas
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 2 Celery stalks, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 6 cups Vegetable broth (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the dried split peas thoroughly under cold water to remove any debris or dust. Set aside.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped yellow onion, diced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and ground black pepper. Cook for an additional 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.
Add the rinsed split peas to the pot along with the vegetable broth and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot partially, and let it simmer gently for 50-60 minutes or until the split peas are tender and the soup is thickened. Stir occasionally to ensure the split peas do not stick to the bottom of the pot.
Once the soup reaches your desired consistency, remove and discard the bay leaf. If you prefer a creamier soup, use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup until smooth while leaving some texture.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
