Ingredients

  • 1 bag (16 oz) dried split peas (about 2 1/4 cups)
  • 2 large onions, coarsely chopped (2 cups)
  • 3 medium stalks celery, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 8 cups water
  • 2 medium red or yellow bell peppers, chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 1/3 cup uncooked orzo or rosamarina pasta (about 2 oz)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (2 oz)
  • 1/2 cup sliced ripe olives

Steps

  • 1
    In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat peas, onions, celery and water to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes or until peas are tender.
  • 2
    Puree pea mixture with immersion blender. (Or pour about 3 cups mixture into blender. Cover; blend until smooth. Pour into heatproof pitcher or bowl. Repeat with remaining mixture; return to Dutch oven.)
