Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add onions and saute for about 2 minutes. Add carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook for additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Season with ginger, rosemary, oregano, and pepper. Pour the vegetable stock and water into the pot and stir to combine all ingredients. Add more water and broth if you like the less thick.
  • Increase temperature, then add split peas and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes or until peas are tender.
