For a richer flavor, consider using homemade vegetable broth. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your personal preference. To add a smoky element, incorporate a teaspoon of smoked paprika or a few drops of liquid smoke to the soup during the final hour of cooking. Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.

In a large pot, combine the sautéed onion and garlic mixture with the diced red potatoes, carrots, and green split peas. Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld and the peas to soften.
