Vegetarian Split-Pea Soup
The baked garlic adds such a rich depth of flavor that you won’t even miss the ham that is traditionally in this savory soup.
Combine all ingredients in a large stock pot and bring a to boil. Reduce and simmer until split peas are tender, skimming off any foam that develops.
Use a potato masher or an immersion blender/food processor to puree the soup a little or a lot – depending on how chunky you want your soup to be.
