Step 1
Cut pork into 1-inch chunks. Rinse split peas in a strainer under cold water.
Step 2
Pour water into a large pot. Add pork, split peas, whole onion, and whole carrot.
Step 3
Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce to medium-low and cover partially.
Step 4
Simmer 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peas break down and pork is very tender.
Step 5
Remove onion and carrot with a slotted spoon. Discard the onion; mash the carrot and return it.
Step 6
Stir in salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. The soup should be thick and creamy.
Step 7
Ladle into bowls and serve hot. Drizzle with a little olive oil if desired.
