  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and carrots, and sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. Cover and let simmer for about 1 hour, or until the split peas are tender. Remove the bay leaf, stir in the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
