Ingredients
Scale
- 1 yellow onion
- 4 carrots
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound split peas
- 8 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- Kosher salt
- Fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Chop the onion and carrots. Mince the garlic. (If you’ve got a pressure cooker, head to Instant Pot Split Pea Soup for the next step.)
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and carrots and saute for 2 minutes. Add garlic and split peas and saute for 1 minute.
- Add the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 45 to 55 minutes, until the split peas fall apart and the soup becomes thickened. If you’d like, with a hand-held immersion blender, pulse a few times to yield a smoother yet still chunky texture.
- Stir in the liquid smoke, kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper. Garnish with smoked paprika if desired.
