Organic Split Pea Soup

Quick & Tasty!

My daughter and I love to have Split Pea Soup on brisk fall days. This is so easy and quick to mix up. It's also good for you and keeps you warm when it's cool outside. 

Note: You'll need to soak the peas in water overnight, or at least for a few hours before you want to cook them. I forgot to soak mine last night, so I did it for about 4 hours this morning so that I could start cooking this afternoon, and they plumped up just fine. 

Ingredients:

Organic Dry Split Peas (as much as you want)

Organic Chicken Broth (enough to cover to about an inch above peas)

Organic Carrots

Optional Seasoning (I used a little pepper & Garlic & Herb Mrs. Dash)

Getting Ready:

1. Soak peas in just enough water to cover them for 4 hours or more, or overnight

Directions:

1. Pour in chicken broth
2. Turn on heat to about 6 (medium)
3. Chop up carrots and toss in
4. Add optional seasoning if desired
5. Stir, and let get to a low boil
6. Reduce heat to lowest setting and cover with lid slightly left open
7. Cook for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until desired consistency

Eat with organic crackers or pita bread. I recently tried the Ezekiel 4:9 pocket bread. We love it. I cut it into quarters and use them for dipping. So good!
