Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ultimate Split Pea Soup.
Step 1
In a Dutch oven, warm the olive oil over medium heat, allowing it to shimmer.
Step 2
Introduce the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and minced garlic, sautéing them until the onion turns a lovely translucent hue, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Next, pour in the chicken broth and add both yellow and green split peas, along with your favorite salt-free seasoning blend.
Step 4
Give it a good stir to ensure everything is well combined.
Step 5
Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 6
Once it reaches that bubbling point, lower the heat and let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the peas are tender, which will take around 2 and a half hours.
Step 7
When the soup is ready, embrace the magic of an immersion blender to purée it into a velvety smooth texture.
Step 8
Serve it hot, and enjoy a bowl of comfort that warms the soul.
