Split Pea Soup (vegan)
serves 4

cook organic!

1.5 cups dried split peas, rinsed and picked through
.75 pound Russet potatoes, skin on, 1/2 inch pieces (the skin provides more fiber! but make sure to scrub any dirt off)
3 large carrots, 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium onion, 1/2 inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
sea salt, fresh ground pepper

1.  In a large pot, combine split peas, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, thyme, and 2 quarts of water.  

2.  Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer.

3.  Cover partially and stir occasionally for 1 hour.  I like to use a hand blender to achieve a smoother, but still slightly chunky consistency.

4.  Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste!
