Monday Recipe – Split Pea Soup

SPLIT-PEA SOUP

HISTORY: This one has more than a few ingredients but it is delicious and easy to remember and so I will share it. I came up with this basic recipe and it is just really good.  I like to eat it with crackers or toast.

RECIPE:

Saute 1 onion with a little oil or water.  After a few minutes, add 1/2 cup chopped ham.  Add 2 chopped potatoes and 2 chopped carrots.  Saute together for ~5 minutes, then add 2 cups dry split peas and 6 cups water.  Simmer for about 45 minutes.  If you desire, add 2 cups spinach.  Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste.  If you like it creamy, add 1/4 cup cream or milk.  Enjoy!

Today’s recipe is super easy, like all my favorite recipes.

Fruit Topping

History:

I made this up in my kitchen a while back.  I’m sure a lot of people have made up this same recipe.

Recipe:

Take 1 cup of sour cream or plain yogurt (greek is best) and whip it with 2 Tbs sugar (or honey, or other sweetener).  Spoon it over fruit.  Yum!  It is the perfect blend of tart and sweet.
