Split Pea Soup – kosher

by Psyche on Saturday 1 September, 2007

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Yield: 5 to 6 servings

1 cup chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups medium-diced carrots (3 to 4 carrots)
1 cup medium-diced potatoes, peeled (3 small)
1 pound dried split green peas
8 cups chicken stock or water

On medium heat, saute the onions and garlic with the olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper until the onions are translucent, 10 to 15 minutes.
Add the carrots, potatoes, 1/2 pound of split peas, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 40 minutes. Skim off the foam while cooking.
Add the remaining split peas and continue to simmer for another 40 minutes, or until all the peas are soft.
Stir frequently to keep the solids from burning on the bottom.
Taste for salt and pepper.
