Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef stew meat (cubed)
• 250 grams Dried split peas
• 1 medium Yellow onion (chopped)
• 2 medium Carrots (diced)
• 2 stalks Celery stalks (diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1.5 liters Beef stock
• 500 milliliters Water
• 2 Bay leaves
• 2 Fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the dried split peas thoroughly under cold water and set aside to soak while preparing other ingredients.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the beef cubes and sear them until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Return the beef to the pot and add the rinsed split peas, beef stock, water, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the split peas have broken down to create a creamy texture.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Taste and season the soup with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 8

Serve hot with crusty bread on the side for a complete meal.
