Yellow Split Pea Soup

 Yellow Split Pea Soup

Ingredients: Bag of yellow split peas. Soak for at least an hour. 

1/4 cup olive oil, 1 carrot, 2 celery stalks, 1 large onion, 10 cloves of garlic, 1 cup fresh parsley,  1/4 cup fresh oregano, 10 cups vegetable stock, 2 tbs ground fresh ginger, 1 tbs salt and pepper, 1 tbs stone ground mustard

I put all the veggies in the food processor and then sautéed them in the oil for 5 minutes. I added everything else (except for the herbs) and cooked for an hour. I put the herbs in the food processor and then added them to the soup. You'll need to cook this until the peas are soft. If you didn't soak them, it could take several hours. If you soaked them long enough, it should be done in an hour. 

garnish with sour cream!
