Yellow split pea soup

Ingredients

• 1 onion, diced
• 1-2 carrots, diced
• 1 sweet potato, diced. I used a purple sweet potato this time; the flesh is white.
• 1/2 cup dried yellow split peas
• Enough vegetable broth to cover
• Dried sage
• Salt and pepper to taste

1. Saute the diced onion and carrots until softened.
2. Add the peas, sweet potato, and sage
3. Cover with vegetable broth. Don’t add too much broth, or the soup will be too thin. You can always add more broth if the soup becomes too thick.
4. Bring to the boil, cover, and simmer for about 2 hours.
