2. Add Broth and Peas: Pour in the chicken broth, allowing it to come to a gentle boil. Once boiling, add the dried yellow split peas, which will infuse the soup with their nutty flavor and creamy texture.

3. Simmer Until Tender: Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the soup simmer gently for about an hour or until the peas become tender and soft, absorbing the savory essence of the broth.

4. Season and Simmer Further: Stir in the lemon juice, ground cumin, and pepper, adding a burst of citrusy brightness and warm spices to elevate the flavors. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the seasonings to meld beautifully with the other ingredients.

5. Puree the Soup: Carefully transfer the cooked soup into a blender in small batches, ensuring not to overfill the blender to avoid any spills. Blend until smooth and velvety, achieving a creamy consistency that is both luxurious and satisfying.

6. Reheat and Serve: Return the pureed soup to the saucepan, and gently reheat it over medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes, ensuring it is heated through. This step allows all the flavors to meld together harmoniously, creating a symphony of taste.

7. Garnish and Enjoy: Ladle the warm Yellow Split Pea Soup into serving bowls, garnishing each portion with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley and pistachios for added freshness and crunch. Serve hot and savor the comforting goodness of this delightful soup.
