  3. When peas are nearly mushy, add vegetables into pot along with juice from the remainder of the lemon, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir to combine and let simmer on low heat until thickened and creamy.
  4. Just before it finishes cooking, chop dill from the remaining two sprigs and add in. Stir to combine, remove from the heat and serve.
