This soup is so fresh and clean tasting, I know you will love it. This is my original recipe.

• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  lb  split peas
• 4 (14 ounce) cans vegetable broth
• 1  cup onion, Diced
• 2  tablespoons butter
• 4  carrots, Diced
• 1  cup water
•  salt and pepper

Directions

1. Rinse and pick through peas to remove any unpleasant bits.
2. Bring 2 cans vegetable broth to boil in large saucepan.
3. Meanwhile, sauté onion in butter until just translucent, not soft.
4. Add split peas and cooked onion to broth. Cook about 1 hour till peas are very tender, adding more vegetable broth as needed. You do not want too much broth.
5. In a separate pan, cook carrots in water till tender. Chop into fine pieces.
6. When split pea mixture is soft, purée in a blender or food processor till it is creamy and smooth.
7. Return to pan and add finely chopped carrots.
8. Heat through and serve. Soup should be very thick and creamy.
