Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup white onion, finely chopped

- ½ cup yellow split peas
- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth*
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, plus more for serving, optional
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- In a medium soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and carrots, and cook about 8 to 10 minutes or until very tender.
- Add split peas and broth. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until split peas are tender and cooked, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Add thyme, marjoram and Dijon mustard. Cook on low for 10 minutes, stirring often. Season to taste with salt and fresh black pepper. Serve with additional Dijon mustard, if desired. Serves 2.
Cooking Note
- This soup is thick, almost like a stew. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more broth.
