Ingredients

3 cups dry green split peas

5 cups water or stock

1 bay leaf

2 tsp. salt

2 Tbs oil or butter

1 cup minced onion

3 cloves crushed garlic

1 cup chopped celery

I thinly-sliced potato

2 cups diced carrots

¼ cup dry red wine

¼ tsp dry mustard

¼ tsp thyme

A few drops of sesame oil

3 Tbs vinegar

(Balsamic, apple cider, or rice vinegar are best for this)

1 cup chopped tomatoes

¼ cup fresh chopped parsley

Directions

Combine split peas, stock, bay leaf and salt. Bring just to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 hours.

Near the end of that time, combine the oil or butter and the vegetables in a large skillet and saute until tender. You may need to add a bit of water and cover to steam them along. When tender, add to the soup pot and continue simmering.

About 15 minutes before serving add the red wine, dry mustard, thyme and sesame oil and, as before, continue simmering. These ingredients are all optional but extremely yummy.

Just before serving add any of these that you choose:

vinegar, tomatoes, fresh parsley.

You can add chopped ham when you add the cooked vegetables, for non-vegetarian split-pea soup.
