Split Pea Soup

This delicious and hearty soup is a filling and inexpensive lunch or dinner. Utilize the bulk bins of your natural grocery store for a satisfying meal.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil (or 1 Tbsp water)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 ½ cups split peas, green or yellow
¼ cup pearl barley (Brown rice also works, but the soup will be a bit more watery since it doesn't absorb as much water.)
4 ½ cups water
1 vegan vegetable bouillon cube
½ tsp coriander
½ tsp dried basil
½ tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp smoked salt or liquid smoke (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions: Rinse and sort split peas and barley, removing any debris or stones. In a soup pot, sauté garlic, carrots, celery, and onion in oil. Once the onion is translucent, add split peas, barley, a bouillon cube, coriander, basil, thyme, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let the soup cook for 90 minutes. Add the smoked salt, pepper, salt to taste, and serve.

Cadry.....excellente'! I like your approach to cooking. Kinda like the "One Minute Manager", but in this case the "Ninety Minute Manager". Just kick back and listen to your drone bee buzz while you indulge in your favorite recipe book or skip stones. Hey...it's a hard life, right? Tee hee hee......
