    1 small onion, chopped
    2 large carrots, chopped
    1 red bell pepper, chopped
    1 small summer squash, chopped
    1 clove of garlic, minced

    8oz (1cup) dried split peas, rinsed and drained

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large stock pot. Add chopped onions, carrots, squash, bell pepper and garlic to pan. Sautee until soft. Salt and pepper to taste.

Add boullion, split peas and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes.
