Step 1
1. Cover the peas with cold boiled water and leave for several hours. Split peas do not necessarily need soaking. Pour water into a saucepan, add salt, and bring to a boil. Then add the peas and let the water come to a boil again. Reduce the heat to medium, and cook with the lid slightly ajar until the peas become soft. Peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes, and add to the soup. Continue cooking until the potatoes are done.
