I woke up the other day salivating for my mom's split pea soup of my youth. Split peas fall apart in a soup so there's no need to puree anything and it's just so easy to make and it smells delicious even if you're just learning to use your new dishwasher and accidentally melt a plastic lid and don't notice until you're like, what the hell? It should only smell like soup in here! Oops.
Split Pea Soup
Bacon (or ham works)
Olive oil
Onions
Garlic
Carrots, chopped
4 cups veg or chicken broth
Bag of split peas
Sautee your bacon til fat renders in a little olive oil then add your veg, cook until soft. Add your broth and peas and cook, cook, cook until peas literally fall apart. I might make it again this week, it' so good.
Oh, and did you know you can freeze bacon in case you don't know what to do with all the rest of the package you bought exclusively to make Split Pea Soup? It's true.
