Step 1

Add 4 quarts of water to a large soup pot over med/high heat. Add 1 cup of dry yellow split peas in the pot along with the 1/2 lb riblets; cover (leaving it open a crack to prevent overflow) and boil for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until peas are almost dissolved. Use a large spoon to remove impurities that float to the top.

Step 2

While peas and riblets are boiling, peel and dice 5 potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Peel and cut the first carrot into small circles the thickness of a quarter. Once the peas dissolve, add potatoes and carrots to the pot. Cook an additional 15 min or until potatoes are cooked through and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 3

Finely grate the second carrot. Finely chop 1 onion. Saute both in a large non-stick pan over med/high heat with 3 tbsp oil until translucent then add 3 pressed cloves of garlic and 2 tbsp of fresh dill. Stir an additional 30 seconds or until garlic is fragrant. Add everything to the soup pot.

Step 4

Finally stir in 1 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper and 1 tsp Mrs. Dash. Add more seasoning to taste.

Step 5

When soup is finished, remove it from heat and take out all the riblets. Using a fork, separate the meat from the bone and return the clean meat back into the soup. Discard the bones.

Step 6

Serve topped with some fresh chopped parsley if you want to be fancy.
