Split pea soup
Easier than pie – or pretty much anything else, for that matter. Chop onions (1 part), sauté, add split peas (1 part), water (3 parts), and salt, bring to a boil, add carrot chunks (1 part), simmer. Stir occasionally. Get other things done nearby while waiting for food to finish cooking. Save trimmings from onions and carrots for the next soup stock. Served to my friends this evening with a French Batard from New Seasons… and some Earth Balance.
