Split Pea Soup !

Split Pea Soup!!
Vegan or Vegetarian - depending one what ingredients you use! :) (Isn't that always the case?)

Ingredients:

  • split peas - one pound bag
  • 3 cans of chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 Onion
  • 1 large or 2 medium Carrots
  • 2 large stalks of celery
  • fresh garlic
  • bay leaf
  • oregano
  • parsley 
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Ham or bacon (optional)

  1. Start by rinsing the peas, then place in a pot with one can of broth 
  2. Chop up all veggies including the garlic and boil them separately in another can of broth
  3. Once both are half way cooked, join the two, keep on low
  4. Add all the seasonings 
  5. Cook for another 20-30 minutes
  6. Peas are done when they dissolve into the the soup and becomes a green broth
  7. You can serve as is - or - add in real pieces of ham and or bacon! That's my favorite!
