Split Pea Soup

I know its summer right now and I intended to make wheat berry salad BUT the wheat berries disappeared! So..... Per hubbys request I made split pea soup just for him! My hubs likes his soup creamy and t-h-i-c-k as you can tell by the picture below where the soup is practically standing up! So by all means add a cup or two of water.

Ingredients:

8 cups water
2 cups green split peas
1 small onion
1 rib celery
3 large carrot
1/4 teaspoon thyme
Sea salt
Pepper

Directions:

In a food processor shred the celery, carrot and onion.

Combine water, peas, celery, carrot, onion and thyme in large stock pot.

Boil for 15 minutes then reduce heat and cover. Simmer until split peas are tender and the water is basically gone.

Remove from heat and blend all ingredients in a food processor until creamy.

Add salt and pepper to taste per bowl or the whole batch!
