True to this blog's form I have never made split pea soup before. I've daydreamed about it for years sadly but never attempted. This soup cannot be screwed up, I'm telling' ya. Yes it does need to simmer for an extended period of time, but watch some netflix and have a cuppa this is a bowl of relaxation in the making. Sorry, I haven't blogged for a while so I'm obviously over-excited about this post!

| Six Ingredient Split Pea Veg Soup from scratch! |
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of green split peas
1 Onion diced
1 Clove of garlic minced
2 Cups of diced carrots
2 Cups of diced celery
Stock (I used chicken)
6 Cups of water (add more if needed)
Directions:
Saute diced onions in olive oil for five minutes, add garlic, carrots, celery. Saute for another five miinutes. Make sure to season as you go with salt and pepper. Add rinsed split peas, stock cubes and water. If using boxed stock use half stock/half water. Bring to a boil then let simmer for 40-50 minutes string periodically. When the texture is right for you, the soup is ready! I didn't even blend this mushy goodness. It may look distasteful to some, but it is anything but! Enjoy :)
I feel like if you garnished it with a drizzle of maple syrup you wouldn't be disapointed. I am stealing that from the much loved Vancouver restaurant Burgoo's.
