Total Time: 1 hr 15 min
INGREDIENTS
7 oz yellow split peas, soaked overnight
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 small carrots, chopped
4 medium potatoes, medium cubes
5 ¾ c water
2 t smoked paprika
2.6 oz rice noodles
Black pepper and Himalayan salt to taste

DIRECTIONS
Cover split peas with water (about 3” above peas) Soak overnight, then rinse and drain.
Boil the water.
Add all the ingredients (except rice noodles) into a medium pot. Pour over with the boiling water, mix well, and bring to boil. Simmer until peas are done (mine too about 50-60 min).
Turn off the heat, mix in a big handful of chopped fresh parsley, and add dry brown rice noodles. They will soften in about 3 min.
Let soup cool a bit, taste and add boiled water for a thinner consistency, add pepper/salt, if necessary.
