Here's my recipe for Split Pea Soup:
Get a bag of split peas (16oz), small diced carrot, celery, and onion, mince one garlic clove, dried thyme, low-sodium chicken stock. First heat large pot on med-low with 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 tbsp olive oil. When butter stops singing, add onion, celery, and carrot, with a pinch of Kosher salt. Sweat for 10 minutes, add minced garlic, sweat 1 minute. Add split peas. Add a pinch of dried thyme, add 4 cups chicken stock and 1 cup water. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes. Taste, add salt and pepper to taste. Serve chunky or blend for smooth consistency. Done.
1 ltr of stock approximate
Put into a container and add 3/4 of peas
Dollop of cream along with seasoning
Put into a blender and no matter how long or hard I blend for it's like a porridge consistency.
If I add more stockit doesn't emulsify into it to thin it out
The peas are pre cooked and given to me by a restaurant where I work so I'm just adding after that if it males a difference?
Have you tried increasing the salt as you increase the water. Sometimes that's all it needs.
