Split Pea Soup

Last night was Sherlock!  I wanted to have a quick and easy dinner that I could have eaten and cleaned up so I was ensconced with the dogs and my crocheting on the couch at show time - split pea soup in the baby crock!

I like my split pea soup thick with a bit of "chew," so this recipe can be altered to a more soupy soup by adding more broth or water.  Plus, you could whir it in the blender/food processor for a smoother texture.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup dried split peas
1 cup vegetable broth or water (I do make my own veggie broth and you can, too!)
1/4 cut chopped carrots
1 tsp salt
Cracked pepper to garnish

Directions:

Place all ingredients, except the cracked pepper, in the baby crock on low for 6 hours. 
Top with cracked pepper to taste at serving.

See?  Easy Peasy!  Hee Hee!

I did bake a tortilla to serve with it and I had a side of mixed veggies and tofu to complete the meal.
