Directions
Put peas in large pot with water and salt; bring to boil, lower heat and simmer for 1 hour.
Skim off foam and discard.
Sauté finely chopped carrots, sweet potato, onion and celery for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add herbs, cook vegetables for another 5 minutes, then add to soup.
Simmer soup, stirring occasionally, for another 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Remove approximately half the soup, puree.
Return purée to pot, add wine and pepper, and stir.
Bring soup back to simmer before serving.
