Split Pea Soup
["13 c. water and/or vegetable stock", "1 1/2 lb. dried split green peas (about 3 1/2 c.)", "6 leeks, sliced", "4 carrots, sliced", "2 cloves garlic, finely chopped", "1 tsp. savory", "2 tsp. salt", "1 tsp. pepper"]
["Heat peas and water to boiling in a large kettle. Boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 1 hour. Add remaining ingredients to peas. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 2 hours or until soup is thick enough to stand a spoon in. Serve with pumpernickel bread. If desired, slice a ring of \"lite\" kielbasa and add to soup for the last 15 minutes of cooking."]
