Step 1
Put soup pot on the stove over medium heat. Add oil when the pot is hot.
Step 2
Add onion, carrots, celery, and thyme and cook 10 to 15 minutes, until tender.
Step 3
Add split peas, stock, and 4 cups water. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil.
Step 4
Lower the heat to low and cook about 2 hours, partially covered, until the peas have fallen apart.
Step 5
Check the soup during cooking - if more water is needed, add up to 2 cups. Skim off any foam that forms.
Step 6
Serve right away or refrigerate up to three days. Stir in the lemon juice just before serving.
