--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2   c            Dry yellow split peas
   6       c            Water
   2                    Plum tomatoes -OR-
   1       md           Tomato -- chopped
   2       cl           Garlic -- chopped
     1/4   c            Parsley -- chopped
   1       ts           Dried dill -OR-
   1       tb           Fresh dill -- chopped
   2       c            Sweet potatoes -- peeled, cubed
   2       c            Small broccoli florets
                        Parsley -- chopped, for garnish

  Soak peas in 4 cups water for 4 hours or longer. In a medium
  saucepan, bring peas and soaking water to a boil. Add tomatoes.
  Simmer, covered, until peas are very soft, 20 to 25 minutes. In a
  blender or food processor, puree 2 cups of pea mixture until
  smooth, adding a little extra water if necessary. Return pureed
  peas to the saucepan. Cover and keep warm.
  
  In a large, deep pot, combine onion, garlic, parsley, dill, sweet
  potatoes, and remaining 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat
  and simmer 6 to 7 minutes. Add broccoli and simmer another 6 to
  8 minutes, or until broccoli is tender but still crunchy. Add pea
  mixture, reduce heat to low, cover and cook gently until just
  heated through. Serve garnished with parsley.
