Monday Night: Pea soup with parsnips

It's getting cool, so it's soup time again. I'm very excited!

Last night I made a soup by sauteing minced onion and garlic until translucent, adding some diced parsnip (1cm dice) and cooking for a couple more minutes, then adding yellow split peas, bouillon (4x the volume of the peas), sliced smoked sausage (St. Gallen) and some pepper. I cooked it for about an hour, until the peas were gone but the parsnip pieces were still around.

This screamed for some herbs de Provence, which we didn't have, but it was mighty good anyway.

We ate it with bread (sourdough rye), and a green salad.
