Let’s make it.

Rinse split peas and remove any stones or debris.
Soften onion, carrot and celery in oil for eight minutes.
Add peas, stock and thyme; simmer partly covered 60–75 minutes until peas are completely tender, adding water if needed.
Mash lightly for a thicker texture, taste and season, then serve in small cups.
