SPLIT PEA SOUP

2.5 c dry green split peas 
7-9 cups water/stock
2 onions, finely chopped
1/4 c. butter or 2 T oil
5 t soy sauce 
2 t parsley
1.5 t salt 
2 t honey
1 t basil 
1 t oregano 
1 t mint 
1/2 t thyme
1/2 t sea kelp
1/4 t savory
1/4 t marjoram 
several dashes cayenne
1-2 potatoes and/or carrots, finely chopped
 
Steamed the potatoes and carrots for 7-10 minutes before adding
with the onions.

Swirl the split peas around by hand in a large pan of water, changing
the water several times to remove the bubbly liquid from the peas,
which can cause gas.  Drain the water off, then add the water or
stock.  Cook for 1.5-2 hrs. on med. heat or until the peas completely
dissolve into the liquid.  Stir occasionally.  Then add the onions,
herbs, vegetables, butter or oil, over med. heat for 20-25 min.
Keep stirring and simmering.
