500g dried yellow split peas , soaked for at least 2 hrs, rinsed
2 onions , finely chopped
1 large leek , finely chopped
2 medium carrots , cut into 1cm chunks
1 small celeriac , peeled and cut into 1cm chunks
2 medium parsnips , peeled and cut into 1cm chunks
2 litres fresh vegetable stock
2 tbsp sweet white miso
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 tsp white pepper , plus extra to serve
large pinch of ground cloves
6 thyme or oregano sprigs, tied
handful of fresh dill , chopped, to serve

Steps:

Drain the peas and bring to the boil in a pan of salted water. Cook for 10 mins, drain, rinse and put in a slow cooker with the remaining ingredients except the dill. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hrs, or until everything has softened. Remove and discard the thyme.
