Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups finely diced onion
  • 1 cup finely diced carrot
  • 1 cup finely diced celery
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1–1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1–1/2 cups green split peas (rinsed)
  • 2 small bay leaves
  • 1 meaty chicken bone (or additional chicken if desired)
  • 8 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • Hearty buttered bread (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrot, celery, and salt/pepper until softened (about 5–8 minutes). Add garlic, Italian seasoning, cumin, thyme, and red pepper flakes; stir continuously for 1 minute.
  2. Stir in rinsed split peas along with bay leaves and chicken broth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 60–90 minutes until peas are tender.

  4. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve hot with hearty bread.
