Split Pea Soup
Split pea soup has to be one of the all time comfort soups.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped peeled carrots
- 8 cups vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoons dried leaf marjoram
- 1½ cups green split peas, dry
Directions
Heat oil in heavy large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery and carrots. Sauté until vegetables begin to soften, about eight minutes. Add marjoram; stir one minute. Add peas, then broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Partially cover pot; simmer soup until vegetables are tender and peas fall apart (about one hour), stirring often.
