"This is my second order for your oregano and
I would like to say that it is the "BEST" I have ever used. It is better,
much better, than my own home grown oregano. I want to thank you people for
a superior product that I absolutely love and so do the friends I share it
with...God Bless"

- Directions:
-
- Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan, add the yellow split peas, and cook for 20 -30 minutes, or until tender.
Drain, salt to taste and set aside.
Add olive oil to a big pot over med-high heat.
Stir in onions and salt and cook until the onions soften, just a minute or two.
Add the cooked split peas and stock/water.
Bring to a simmer and let cook for a few minutes.
Remove from the heat.
Using a large cup ladle half of the soup into a bowl and set aside.
Using a hand blender (or regular blender) puree the soup that is still remaining in the pot.
Stir the reserved (still chunky) soup back into the puree
In the meantime make the yogurt topping by mixing together the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, mint, and salt. Set aside.
Ladle soup into bowls or cups, and serve each with a generous dollop of the yogurt, a drizzle of olive oil, a touch of chopped mint, and a sprinkling of black olives. Serves 3-4.
