Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb dried green split peas rinsed and picked over
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and sliced diagonally
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Garnish options: chopped parsley, plain Greek yogurt, crispy croutons

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large skillet. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened. Add garlic and thyme.
  • Add split peas, vegetable broth, water, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a slow cooker or simmer on the stovetop.
  • Cook until split peas are soft and soup is thick. Remove bay leaves and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Use an immersion blender for a smoother texture if desired. Ladle into bowls and garnish before serving.

Notes

Season at the end to prevent over-salting. Adjust consistency with water if needed. Add lemon for acidity and brightness.
