2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 package (or 2 cups) smoked turkey, cubed

2 and 1/2 cups green split peas
1 sprig of fresh thyme + some for garnish (optional)
2 bay leaves

1 large potato, diced
In a large soup pot, sauté the cubed smoked turkey in olive oil over medium high heat for about three to four minutes.
Add a pinch of kosher salt and pepper, the garlic powder, and the chopped onion.
Mix well then sauté until the onions are slightly softened, but not brown.
Add the carrots and celery to the onion mixture.
Stir to combine and cook for another three to four minutes.
Add the split peas, thyme and bay leaves. Mix and let cook for an additional four minutes.
Add the Manischewitz Chicken Broth and water to the pot and bring to a simmer.
