2 cups Green Split Peas
10 cups Water (or More)
6 whole Carrots, Washed & Cut In Rounds
2 whole Yellow Onions, Diced
1 stalk Celery Chopped Finely
1 teaspoon Dried Marjoram
1 teaspoon Dried Basil
1 Tablespoon Fresh Parsley, Chopped
2 teaspoons Salt
1/4 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper

1
Put the peas and water in a large pot. (I use a 5.5 quart enameled cast iron pot.)
2
Turn the heat on high and bring it to a boil.
3
While you're waiting for the water to boil, add the vegetables and stir.
4
Add the herbs, salt and pepper, and stir again.
5
When the soup comes to a boil, turn it down to low and simmer for at least one hour, stirring every 15 minutes or so.
6
You may want to add another cup or so of water depending on the consistency you desire. We like it thick and chunky.
7
If you're going to eat the soup the next day, let it cool down before covering and refrigerating it. Reheat the next day over low heat, adding a cup of water or more.
