1 pinch red pepper flakes

1 pinch ground ginger

1 pinch ground cinnamon

1 pinch ground nutmeg

1 pinch ground cloves

    1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

  1. Heat a large stock pot, add dried spices, and cook 15-30 seconds for the spices to open. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and chopped onion and cook until nearly translucent. Add garlic, and cook another minute.

  2. Add the water and split peas to the pot. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently . Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, stirring frequently. When consistency is creamy and split peas have lost their body, soup is done.
