  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over low heat; add onion, carrot, garlic, and ginger; cook and stir until onions are brown, about 10 minutes.

  • Place chicken stock, split peas, and marjoram in a pressure cooker. Cover pressure cooker with lid and cook soup according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; open pressure cooker carefully.

  • Stir cooked sweet potatoes and onion-carrot mixture into split pea mixture. Garnish with Parmesan cheese; season with paprika and lemon pepper.

Cook's Note:

This recipe is best made with homemade chicken stock or bouillon from a paste. I recommend not using bouillon cubes.

I recommend shaving the Parmesan at time of serving, not beforehand.
