Equipment

  • Stovetop
  • Slow Cooker
  • Small Saucepan
  • Blender
  • Large Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 5 Carrots Roasted
  • 1 cup Split Peas Yellow; rinsed
  • 3 cups Broth
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic Peeled and diced
  • 1 Onion Yellow, small, chopped
  • ½ Tablespoon Rosemary Dried
  • ½ Tablespoon Thyme Dried
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Soak the yellow split peas in about 3 cups water until soft. This can be done overnight in a slow cooker on low, or 3 to 4 hours on high. Drain.
  • Place a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the olive oil, onions, and garlic.
  • Sauté until translucent; about 5 minutes, turning every once in a while.

  • Pour back into the slow cooker, add seasonings and herbs, let simmer on low for 4 to 5 hours or until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Alternative cooking method: This can all be done on the stovetop in a large saucepan and let simmer until warmed.
