We like to serve this soup in an Emerson Creek Onion Soup Bowl.

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery and carrots and sauté 3 for minutes. Add garlic and sauté until golden. 
  2. Pour in chicken broth or veggie broth and water. Add split peas, bay leaves, thyme and all spices.
  3. Bring mixture to a boil. Then cover and let simmer, stirring occasionally until peas have mostly broken down (about 60 minutes). Serve warm garnished with parsley or grated parmesan if desired.
  4. Enjoy!
