This one is simple and inexpensive. My husband liked it a lot. He walked in while it was cooking and said, Mmm . Normally, he would not touch split pea soup. It's practically vegetarian too-no bacon or ham hocks to touch-and yet still tastes great. Biscuits go really well with this. In fact, I think you need them to make a filling meal.
Ingredients:
1 lb dried split green peas
4 (16 ounce) cans low sodium chicken broth
4 stalks celery, chopped
4 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf
salt, optional and to taste
Directions:
1. Sort and wash peas. Put them and everything else in a large pot.
2. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for two hours, stirring often.
3. Remove bay leaf before serving. A very little salt or salt substitute enhances the flavor.
