Split Pea Soup

• 1 – 20 oz. bag of split peas
• 12 cups vegetable broth
• 2 small onions, finely chopped in a food processor
• 2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped in a food processor
• 2 celery stalks, finely chopped in a food processor
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
• Fresh ground pepper

Add the chopped onion, carrot and celery to a small amount of olive oil in your soup pan, and cook until warmed through, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the peas and broth, partially cover, and bring to a boil. Let boil for 30 minutes. Add salt & pepper, to taste, and reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, or until desired consistency.

You can add a splash of hot sauce to your bowl to spice it up a bit!

Enjoy!
