Then add the spices and cook for a couple more minutes, stirring frequently. Pour the veggies into the split peas.
Allow 30 minutes for the soup to simmer, or until it achieves the texture. Ready to serve! (See note)
- If the vegetables begin to stick to the bottom of the pan, add a splash of water.
