Simmer until the split peas are completely soft and starting to break down on their own — this is what gives the soup its naturally thick, creamy body without needing much blending.
Instructions:
- Sauté the Vegetables: Sauté the onion, carrots, and celery in a pot for 6-8 minutes.
- Add the Aromatics: Add the garlic and smoked paprika, cooking for 1 minute.
- Add the Peas & Broth: Add the split peas, vegetable broth, and bay leaf.
- Simmer: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 35-40 minutes, until the peas are fully softened.
- Finish: Remove the bay leaf, season with salt and pepper, and blend partially for a creamy texture, if desired.
Notes: Read through the full recipe before starting so you have all ingredients prepped and ready to go.
Tips: Let the soup simmer, not boil, so the flavors develop without breaking down delicate vegetables.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months; reheat gently on the stove.
Swaps: Feel free to swap in seasonal vegetables or pantry staples you have on hand, adjusting cook time as needed.
Every ingredient here earns its place, but a few really shape the dish. The onion adds sweetness and depth as it cooks down. The carrots adds natural sweetness and color. The celery stalks adds a savory, aromatic crunch to the base. The garlic builds a savory, aromatic base.
