Yellow split peas question

[MaryMotherOfCheeses]

I'm making soup. Making it up as I go along tbh, so I thought I'd chuck some yellow split peas in the pot, planning on simmering it for 45 mins or so until they were cooked.

Then I read the label and it said to soak them for 24 hours in advance...

Do I fish out each and every pea? Or if I just simmer it for ages (how long?) will it be ok?

It'll be fine. I do a couple of split pea recipes and none of them require soaking.

It was fine, thank you

And rather delicious too. [smug]
