Rinse the split peas under cold water and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until translucent.
Add carrots and celery and cook for another 5 minutes.
Stir in the split peas, vegetable broth, bay leaf, and thyme.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 60-70 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peas are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and blend the soup partially if desired for a creamier texture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with diced smoked ham or vegan sausage.
