How to make it
- 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.
