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.
