Ingredients

1 onion, diced
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 cup peeled and chopped carrots
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
6 cups gluten-free vegetable broth, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups dried split peas
½ large sweet potato, cubed
1 bay leaf
1 green onion, chopped, or to taste

Directions

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, carrots, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and a splash of vegetable broth. Cook and stir until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.
Stir garlic, oregano, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper into the vegetable mixture. Saute until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining broth, split peas, sweet potato, and bay leaf. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, until split peas begin to soften and pop, about 45 minutes.
Transfer 1/2 the soup into a blender; puree until smooth. Pour back into the pot and stir well. Pour soup into serving bowls and garnish with green onion.
