This was truly a Tasty Tidbit Tuesday! I made Split Pea soup for dinner tonight. It was delicious and so simple.
3 TBS olive oil
1 cup dry peas
1 medium onion – diced small
1-2 garlic cloves minced
2-3 carrots chopped into small pieces
1 large celery stalk cut into small pieces
6 cups of vegetable or low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup small pasta like orzo
Kosher salt
Parmigiano cheese
Heat the oil in large saucepan over MEDIUM heat. Add onions, garlic, carrots and celery. Cook till onions begin to soften.
Add broth, cover pot and simmer for about 40 minutes.
Bring soup to a boil and add the pasta. Cook over MEDIUM HIGH heat till the orzo is al dente.
Season with salt to taste. Sprinkle grated cheese on top.
