Preparation:

Early in the morning, turn a large slow cooker with cover to the �high� setting. Boil 12 cups of water and add to the slow cooker. We use our microwave oven to heat the water 2 cups at a time. Meanwhile, we check the dried split peas for any extraneous material (small stones, etc.) to discard, and rinse the split peas in a sieve under running cold water before adding them to the slow cooker. Stir the split peas and water, and then add the oregano and bay leaves. Stir again. Continue to heat until split peas have softened.

In a high speed blender, place the chipotle peppers (with stems removed and discarded), the peeled garlic cloves, 2 of the carrots, 2 stalks of celery, and 2 of the onions. Blend at high speed until the ingredients are smooth. Use a little water to rinse out this mixture from the blender container into a microwaveable dish with cover and heat in the microwave oven until it begins to boil. Add to the slow cooker and mix well.

Clean and dice the remaining carrots, onion, and celery. Add to the microwaveable dish with cover and heat in the microwave oven until the vegetables are tender. Add to the slow cooker and mix well.

Continue to heat on �high� until the flavors of the soup are blended together. Stir occasionally. If necessary, add additional hot water, depending on the desired consistency of the soup.

Serve with a large tossed salad and enjoy!

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):  'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.  And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so.   God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV)  Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
