Split Pea Soup Ingredients: Olive oil - this is used to saute the vegetables, butter can be substituted.; Yellow onion, celery, carrots and garlic - these vegetables built up the background flavors of the soup. They add some nice color too. Chicken broth and water - I like to use half chicken broth and half water (vs. all broth) so it doesn't overpower the delicate flavor of the peas. Melt butter in heavy large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir frequently to keep the solids from burning on the bottom.
