Very simple to put together, this nourishing soup is a favorite for weekend lunches. It freezes very well.

Ingredients

  • 390g split peas, uncooked
  • 1 1/4L water, or more if needed
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 6g salt
  • 300g carrots, chopped
  • 150g celery, chopped
  • 180g onion, chopped
  • 2g thyme
  • 2g pepper, or more if needed
  • 3g garlic powder

Directions

  • Rinse and drain split peas.
  • Combine dried split peas, water, bay leaf, and salt in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Stir occasionally to prevent the split peas from sticking, and to make sure that there is enough water. Add water if the soup looks like it is becoming too dry.
  • Add carrots, celery, onions and seasonings.
  • Continue to simmer for 30 minutes or longer. Add more water if a thinner soup is desired. Overcooking cannot hurt this soup as long as it is stirred to prevent sticking.
