Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, carrots, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Rinse the Split Peas

    Rinse the split peas under cold water in a fine mesh strainer to remove any debris.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the rinsed split peas, vegetable broth, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the split peas are tender.

  5. 7

    Blend (Optional)

    If a smoother texture is desired, use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth, or blend in batches using a countertop blender.

  6. 8

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaf and ladle the soup into bowls. Serve hot with crusty bread, if desired.
