What You Need
1
tbsp.
vegetable oil
1
small yellow onion, finely diced
2
carrots, diced (roughly ½ inch cubes)
1
rib of celery, finely diced
5
cups
low-sodium chicken stock
1 1/4
cup
dried yellow split peas, rinsed
1
tbsp.
fresh parsley, chopped
Preparation
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook the sausages in 1 tbsp of oil until they begin to lightly brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the onion, carrots and celery to the pot and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock and increase the heat to high until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Add the dried peas and reduce the heat to medium low. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally. The peas will have broken down a bit and thickened the soup.
- Just before serving, stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley.
