Liquefy in blender the following: 2 cups of cabbage, 2 cups celery, two cups onions. Pour liquefied mix into boiling stockpot. Add finely chopped collards and celery. Then add smoked sea salt and pepper to taste. (Smoked sea salt may be a healthier option for a smoky taste than liquid smoke additives).
After cooking for an hour, add 1 cup reserved split peas, and add chopped carrots. In a saucepan, stirfry 2 cups chopped onion with garlic. Add into soup, along with bay leaves and thyme. Cook until carrots and reserved batch of split peas are tender.
