Split Pea Soup

This Split Pea Soup recipe is a soup my mom has made for years. To me this is the ultimate comfort food . It somehow fell out of rotation and I’m not sure why but now that I made it again, I will be making another batch soon. This recipe is quite simple and doesn’t call for much spice but I assure that that it is full of flavor. The soup is equally good with yellow or  green peas. I promised my friend Sari I would give her the recipe. So here it Sari.

Simple ingredients

Chop the carrots really fine or grate them

Chop the zucchini or gray squash

Saute onions and garlic and add bay leaves
