Curried Split Pea Soup - Brandy H.

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 carrot, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, sliced
• 4 cups vegetable stock or broth
• 4 cups water
• 1 cup dried yellow split peas
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 bunch parsley, chopped

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add carrot and garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except parsley; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer uncovered for 30-60 minutes (until peas are tender). Ladle into shallow bowls; garnish with parsley. (We spooned over some cooked rice and it was yummy!)
