By Scout0421

Ingredients

• 4 sausage links, about 3/4 lb.
• 5 medium white potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tsp parsley
• 1 1/2 cup green split peas, about 1/2 lb.
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2-3 cups of water, depending on how thick/thin you want the soup
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the sausage into small pieces and brown. Once browned, add the diced potatoes, chopped onion and crushed garlic to the sausage. Let saute for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until onions become opaque. Next add the seasonings, split peas, broth and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 50 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Add more water if needed to reach desired thinness.)
