All right we have a request for the Split Pea Soup recipe so here it is:

2 large carrots, chopped
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
2 T olive oil
32 oz of vegetable broth
4 cups water
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups split peas

Sautee all vegetables in oil until tender.  Add broth, water and salt.  Bring to a boil and add split peas.  Simmer for 1 hour -to 1 1/2 hours until the peas become a porridge.

It's pretty simple.
