I like this soup so much that I often make it weekly during cooler months.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried split peas
- 5 cups cold water
- ¼ cup diced onion
- ¼ cup thinly sliced celery
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch coarse salt
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste
- 3 bay leaves, or more to taste
- 1 cup sliced carrots, or more to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Inspect peas, discarding any stones, foreign matter, or unattractive peas. Place peas in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water to remove pea dust.
Step 2
Transfer drained peas into a pot with a lid and a heavy, heat-diffusing bottom. Add water, onion, celery, ketchup, olive oil, salt, garlic, and bay leaves. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a very slow simmer. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom every 7 to 12 minutes, until peas have largely fallen apart, about 1 1/2 hours.
Step 3
Stir carrots into the soup. Cook, covered, stirring often, until peas are completely dissolved and soup is thick, about 1 1/2 hours more. Remove and discard bay leaves. Season with pepper.
Cook’s Notes:
You can use yellow or green split peas.
