Ingredients
2 cups dry yellow split peas, rinsed6-8 cups of water2 large carrots chopped1 onion chopped 6 cloves garlic chopped2 Oxo Vegetable Cube or other Vegetable Bouillon Cube1/4 tsp Spike seasoningother herbs to taste (I use lemon pepper, celery salt, dried parsley, bay leaf)
Directions
Chop all the veggies. Boil the water and dissolve the vegetable bouillon in a large pot. Add all the veggies and split peas. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for at least 60 minutes. After about 45 minutes, I take a masher and smash the peas up a little bit to make a thicker soup. Stir occasionally checking for consistency. You may even have to add up to 10 cups of water depending on how thick or thin you like it. Season to taste.
Serves about 8* one cup servings

*I calculated calories at 8 servings. If you add more water and get more servings, it will be even less calories per serving.

    Great recipe. I added cumin for a more Middle Eastern taste. Note: If there is a lot of foam after the soup comes to a rolling boil, you will want to skim that off with a spoon. It is the dross/impurities coming out. - 3/12/15
