After making different versions, this is what I've come to call my own. Very close to most, just with some small adjustments. My family loves it!

Steps

2 hours

1

Sautee butter, oil, celery, carrot, onion and garlic over medium heat, until onions are translucent.
2

Add chicken broth, green split peas, bayleaf and vegeta
3

Add smoked kielbasa
4

Bring up to boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours, covered, stirring occasionally (or until peas are somewhat falling apart and tender)
5

NOW I like my soup a little chunky, but some like it completely blended. I just use my immersion (stick) blender and pulse it a few times, until I reach a desired consistency. You can use a blender too, if you would like. REMOVE BAYLEAF AND MEAT BEFORE BLENDING
6

Slice up kielbasa. Add back to soup. Enjoy!
7

You can substitute smoked ham hock, cubed ham steak, reg sausage...whatever you choose.
