Instructions
Heat the olive oil in your soup pot over medium heat and saute the onions and garlic with the oregano, salt, and pepper until the onions are translucent, 10 to 15 minutes.
Add the carrots, potatoes, 3/4 of the split peas, and the stock or water. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 40 minutes. Skim foam while cooking.
Add the remaining split peas and continue to simmer for another 40 minutes, or until all the peas are soft (I usually go 10 or even 20 minutes longer to take care of the most stubborn peas). Stir frequently to keep the solids from burning on the bottom. Taste for salt and pepper and serve hot.
Whisk the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Toss with the cabbage. Taste for balance and add more vinegar, salt, or pepper if needed.
