This recipe is from my sister-in-law Angela, not to be confused with my sister Angela or my ex-spouse Angela.

3 cups dry green split peas	1 bay leaf
7-8 cups of water (add more as needed)	2 tsp salt and pepper
2 tbsps vegetable oil	1 cup minced onions
1 cup minced celery	2 cups sliced carrots
3 cloves garlic, crushed	1 thinly sliced potato
1/4 cup dry red wine	1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp dry mustard	3 tbsps vinegar
1 cup chopped tomatoes	1/4 cup chopped parsley (dry is OK)

METHOD

Cover peas with water, add bay leaf and salt and pepper. Simmer for 3-4 hours, adding more water if soup is too thick.

Half an hour before serving, sauté the onions, celery, carrots, garlic and potatoes in the oil for a few minutes, then add to the soup.

15 minutes before serving add wine, thyme and mustard.

Just before serving add the vinegar, tomatoes and parsley.
