In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cumin and 2 tablespoons of Bragg Liquid Aminos, blending well with the garlic and onion mixture.
Pour in the water and soaked split peas.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let it sit for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
After 1 hour, add the grated carrots and chopped potato to the pot.
Return the pot to the stove and simmer, covered, over low heat for about 2 hours or until the split peas and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
Adjust the seasonings to taste, adding more Bragg Liquid Aminos if desired.
Serve the hearty split pea delight hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Enjoy this comforting and nutritious soup!
