Cooking

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

    Once boiling, add salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
