2- 1 pound packages of green split peas.... |
4 chicken bouillon cubes. |
2 packets of sazon-without annatto. (this can be found in the goya hispanic foods section) |
2 small onions chopped well. |
2 cloves of minced garlic. |
2 medium carrots diced. |
sea salt & black pepper-only fresh ground, to taste. |
12 cups of water. |
note: you can also add some smoked ham or turkey to enhance the flavor. |
some people add cream or milk, however since i am lactose intolerant i skip that part. |
soak the split peas in a pot of water over night, drain and rinse peas. |
in a large soup pot combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. lower heat and let simmer until peas are tender. if necessary add more water sparingly. |
stir often. |
if you like your pea soup really creamy you can carefully put it through a blender. careful when doing this as the soup is hot. |
top with croutons if desired. |
enjoy. |
