Ingredients

  • 1 cup Dried green split peas
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
  • 2 medium Carrots, diced
  • 2 medium Celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 leaf Bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Optional garnish: fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the dried split peas thoroughly under cold water and set them aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Add the rinsed split peas, vegetable broth, dried thyme, dried oregano, and the bay leaf to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, or until the split peas are very tender and starting to break down. Stir occasionally to prevent any sticking at the bottom of the pot.

Step 7

Once the peas are soft, remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency. You can also transfer portions to a countertop blender if you prefer a smoother texture. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.

Step 8

Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 10

Serve the soup warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired. Pair with a slice of whole-grain bread for a complete meal.
