Ingredients

Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 cups diced onion

  • ¾ cup finely diced carrot

  • cup finely diced celery

  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic

  • 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, or more as needed

  • 1 ¼ cups dried green split peas

  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme

  • 1 bay leaf

  • ½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Gremolata:

  • ½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley

  • ¼ cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes

  • ¾ teaspoon garlic, minced

  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook 30 seconds more. Stir in broth, split peas, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, partially covered, until peas are falling apart, about 1 1/4 hours.

  2. Meanwhile, stir together parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, paprika, and salt in a small bowl.

  3. Remove thyme sprigs and bay leaf from soup; discard. Add more broth or water to thin as desired, and more salt to taste. Serve topped with gremolata.

Cook's Notes:

Substitute vegetable broth with chicken broth if preferred.

If you prefer creamy soup, puree with an immersion blender or in several batches in a regular blender.
