In a stockpot over medium heat, sauté onions, garlic, celery, and carrots until softened. Add peppers, potato, split peas, vegetable broth and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 40-45 minutes, until potatoes and split peas are tender.
Stir in frozen corn, nutritional yeast and seasoning and simmer until heated through.
Optionally, for a thicker base, remove 1/4-1/3 of the soup to a blender and blend until smooth. Return purée to the rest of the soup. Stir in fresh spinach until just wilted and serve.
This is especially good paired with crusty French bread or croutons. Leftovers refrigerate well for 3-5 days in an airtight container.
Notes
You can also make this in a crockpot by adding all ingredients together and cooking on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
