Vegetarian Split-Pea Soup [0001115]

Ingredients:

2 cups dried green split peas, rinsed and drained
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups gluten-free vegetable broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, chopped carrots, chopped celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Add the rinsed and drained green split peas, gluten-free vegetable broth, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Stir to combine all the ingredients in the pot.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 40-50 minutes or until the split peas are tender and the soup has thickened. Stir occasionally.

If the soup becomes too thick, you can add more vegetable broth to achieve your desired consistency.

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.
