Split Pea Soup

As promised, here is the recipe for Split Pea Soup, my favorite soup of all time :)

I made a similar version to the take-out Split Pea Soup I buy from 

Green Cuisine which you may remember from these posts!

Split Pea Soup

adapted from Green Cuisine

5 cups filtered water

1.5 cups dry split peas

2 cups diced onion

1/2 cup diced carrots

1/2 cup cubed potato

1 minced garlic clove

1 tsp sea salt (or table)

a pinch black pepper

a pinch thyme

Directions:
1. Bring water and vegetables to boil in a pot
2. Add split peas, stir, then reduce heat to simmer
3. Partially cover and simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally
4. Add spices at the end, a few minutes prior to completion
5. Serve, and enjoy! 

You may need to add extra water. I find the longer the soup sits, the thicker it becomes.

makes 5-6 servings
