Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups dried split peas (rinsed)
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup diced potatoes (optional for extra creaminess)
  • Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (for spiderweb effect)
  • Chopped chives (for garnish)
  • Paprika (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil and add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened.
  2. Stir in split peas, vegetable broth, bay leaf, smoked paprika, and diced potatoes if using. Bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until peas break down and soup thickens.
  4. Use an immersion blender for a smooth finish, or leave chunky for a rustic texture.
  5. Drizzle sour cream or Greek yogurt in a spiral on top of each bowl. Drag a toothpick from the center outward to create a spiderweb design. Garnish with chopped chives and a sprinkle of paprika.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use plant-based sour cream or yogurt.
  • Blending is optional depending on your desired soup texture.
  • Potatoes add extra creaminess but can be omitted for a lighter soup.
  • The spiderweb design is perfect for Halloween parties or festive dinners.
