Ingredients:
14 cups water
2 cups onions -- diced
1 1/2 cups carrots -- diced
2 cups celery -- diced
2/3 cup fresh parsley -- minced
4 green onion -- thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic -- minced
1 medium zucchini -- quartered & sliced
1/3 cup green split peas
1/3 cup yellow split peas
2 1/2 tablespoons barley
2 tablespoons baby lima beans or other tiny white beans
3 tablespoons ajuki beans
1 tablespoon powdered vegetable broth
dash seasoned salt or any salt-free seasoning
dash freshly ground pepper
Method:
Bring water to a boil in a large soup pot. Add the ingredients in the order given, except for the salt and pepper, which can be added at the end of the cooking process.
Return soup to a boil, skimming off any foam or scum that comes to the
surface with a large spoon. (Repeat this skimming process several times in
the first half-hour of cooking, until no more scum forms.)
Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer split pea soup for 2 1/2 hours, stirring periodically to ensure that the barley isn't sticking. At end of cooking time, adjust seasonings to taste.
