Split pea soup

Nothing warms one up quite like a bowl of freshly made soup. Try our split pea for a delicious vegetarian meal this winter.

Ingredients:

Method:

  1. Using a large soup pot (four litres), saute the onions and garlic over medium heat with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper until the onions are translucent – this should take about 10 minutes.
  2. Add the potatoes and carrots, half of the peas, and the chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then allow to simmer uncovered for 40 minutes. Stir regularly.
  3. As the soup is cooking, skim any foam off the top. After 40 minutes, add the rest of the peas and simmer for a further 40 minutes. Stir regularly.
  4. Serve hot with fresh herbs (we use dill).
