I made split pea and barley soup and was left with only a little bit of each left. I made Lentil soup, and was left with only a little bit of the bag left. I really, really wanted split pea soup tonight, so I decided to put a little bit of each in and see how it goes. I also added some turkey pepperoni instead of ham (so feel free to use whatever smoky meat you want) because...I didn't have any ham! The outcome was something unexpectedly delicious, and I think I'll be making this quite a bit in the future! By the way, each portion of this is 6 very filling Weight Watchers points (recalculating for the new system) without the turkey pepperoni. With the turkey pepperoni, it's 7. Ingredients:
4 ounces dried split peas |
1 1/2 ounces barley |
1 1/2 ounces brown lentils |
3/4 cup turkey pepperoni (or any smoky meat you want, or omit completely!) |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1/4 cup carrot, diced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 bay leaves |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
5 cups fat-free chicken broth |
Directions:
1. In a slow cooker, layer every ingredient except the broth in order listed (do not stir). Boil broth, then add to slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or until vegetables are tender. 3Discard bay leaves before serving.
