Step 1
Rinse the 1.5 cups yellow peas and pick out any debris. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 diced carrots; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the peas, 6 cups vegetable broth, and 1 tsp dried thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until peas are tender, about 30 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in 0.5 cup rice and continue simmering until rice is cooked, about 15 minutes. The soup should be thick and creamy; add water if too thick.
Step 5
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and top with red pepper flakes and fresh dill.
Step 6
Serve hot, with extra dill on the side if desired.
