Using water is cost-effective and can be flavored with herbs.

Prepare ingredients: chop celery and green scallions, finely chop garlic and onion.

Soak 2 cups of yellow split peas in water for 24 hours, then rinse and drain.

In a pressure pot, bring water to a boil with the split peas, adding salt to taste.

Melt 1/3 stick of margarine in a separate pot over medium heat.

Add chopped celery and green scallions to the melted margarine and sauté until softened.

Add finely chopped garlic and onion to the pot and sauté until they are soft but still green.

Once the split peas are boiling, remove any froth that rises to the top.

Cover the pressure pot and cook on medium heat for about 25 minutes.

After cooking, blend the split peas with the sautéed aromatics until smooth, adding freshly squeezed coconut milk to achieve a creamy consistency.

Strain the blended mixture to ensure a smooth texture, then return it to the pot.

Add the remaining coconut milk and another third of a stick of margarine to the pot, stirring to combine.
