How to Make SPLIT PEA SOUP
- Rinse and thoroughly drain the split peas.
- In large saucepan over medium heat, heat oil. Add celery, carrots, garlic, onion, and pepper. Saute until vegetables are wilted, 5-7 min.
- Stir in split peas, water, stock, bay leaf, thyme, and cloves. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, partially cover pan, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until soup is thick and the peas are mushy, about 1 hour. If soup is too thick, add 1/4 cup additional water. Remove bay leaf. Serve.
