Prep Time: 1 hr | Cook Time: 1 hr | Makes: 16 slices

Ingredients

• 2 c yellow split peas

• 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 c onion, diced

• 1 c carrot, diced

• 2 bay leaves

• 6 c water or vegetable stock

• 1/3 c Dijon mustard

• 8 oz smoked salmon, roughly chopped

• freshly ground pepper

• fresh chives

Directions

1. Soak peas in cold water at least an hour. Set aside.

2. In a medium pot, heat oil and sauté onion, carrots, and bay leaves until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. Drain split peas add to pot along with 6 cups fresh water. Bring to boil. Cover and reduce to simmer, stirring occasionally until peas break down into a thick puree, about 45- 60 minutes. Add water as necessary for consistency.

4. Remove bay leaves. Blend, if you prefer a creamier texture. Then stir in 6 ounces of the salmon, mustard, and pepper.

5. Ladle into bowls and top with fresh herbs and the remaining salmon.
