Split Pea Soup

• 150g (3/4 cup) split peas
• 7 cups water
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 1 potato, shredded
• 1 tsp fenugreek seeds, ground
• fresh ground black pepper, to taste

1. In a food processor, pulse split peas into smaller chunks (see note).
2. Combine all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce to medium-low and let simmer for 40-45 minutes or until the peas have mostly dissolved.
4. Process with an immersion blender until smooth.

Note: I used the peas from a tube of Manischewitz split pea soup and threw out the "soup mix."
