Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for another 2 minutes. Add the squash, split peas, broth, and seasonings to the pot, along with 2 C water. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer. Cover and simmer for 45-55 minutes, or until split peas are tender, but still retain their shape. Uncover, taste, and adjust seasonings as needed.
