Anderson's Original Split Pea Soup
Ingredients:
2 qt water
2 cups split peas (a 14-16 oz. bag)
1 branch of celery, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp thyme, ground
1 pinch cayenne pepper
bay leaf
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a large pot and boil hard for 20 minutes, then slowly until peas are tender. (The 50-minute cooking time is approximate. After the 20 minutes of "hard boil," I reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the peas mash easily.)
2. Strain through a fine sieve. (I use my food processor. Don't forget to remove the bay leaf!)
3. Reheat to the boiling point.
4. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle it with a bit of paprika or Parmesan and a few croutons.
