How to Prepare One-Pot French Canadian Split Pea Soup [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Put all ingredients, except the balsamic vinegar and parsley, in a big soup pot. Mix well.
Bring to the boil and simmer with the lid on for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Remove 5 cups of the soup (careful not to pick up the bay leaves) and pour this into the bowl of a blender or food processor.
Process until smooth.
Pour this back into the soup pot.
Stir in the vinegar and parsley. Serve.

Notes

Store leftovers in a covered container in refrigerator or freezer. This soup thickens as the lentils and peas absorb more stock and water. Add more water according to taste.
