Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup Split Peas
• 4 cup Vegetable broth
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 medium Carrot
• 2 medium Celery stalks
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 piece Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 ounce Gouda cheese
• 1 piece Baguette
• 2 tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions

1. Rinse the split peas and set aside.
2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the split peas, vegetable broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until the split peas are tender.
4. While the soup is simmering, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into thin slices and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crostini are golden brown.
5. Remove the bay leaves from the soup and use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, blend in batches.
6. Return the soup to the pot and heat over low heat until warmed through.
7. To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and top with a few slices of Gouda crostini. Enjoy!
