This hearty Split Pea Soup is the ultimate comfort food and is perfect for a cozy night in with the gang. Don't be surprised if everyone comes back for seconds!

What You'll Need

1 (16-ounce) package dried split peas, rinsed and cleaned according to package directions
8 cups water
2 beef bouillon cubes
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup grated carrots (2 to 3 carrots)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

In a soup pot, combine all ingredients; mix well. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 1 to 1-1/4 hours, or until the peas are soft, stirring occasionally.

Notes

If you like that traditional smoky ham flavor in your split pea soup, just stir in 1 teaspoon liquid smoke after the soup comes to a boil. You can find liquid smoke in the spice section of the supermarket.
