  • 1/3 cup yellow split peas

  • 2 large ribs celery, sliced

  • 4 large carrots, sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 2 tbsp dried parsley

Directions

Put all ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Cover the pot and turn the heat down to simmer. Cook for about 1 hour, until all grains are tender. Adjust seasonings as needed. Soup will be thick. You can thin the soup, if you like, by adding water or chicken stock.
