Split Pea with Root Vegetable Soup

Such an easy recipe, I remember it.... I think.

6 tbsp Olive Oil
3 carrots, chopped
2 parsnips, chopped
2 leeks, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp marjoram
1 1/2 lbs roasted turkey breast, bone in ( I roasted chicken breasts, since I couldn't find turkey breasts), cut into chunks
3 bay leaves
11 cup chicken broth
3 cups split peas

Heat oil in large stock pot. Over low heat, add vegetables and spices, cover partially and cook for 20 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 45 minutes or until desired thickness. I think I cooked mine for and hour and a bit. Lost track of time, so I am not 100% certain.
