Spicy Split Pea Soup

Spicy Split Pea Soup

I just made this homemade soup, that's just out of this world....and thought to share the recipe:

Spicy Split Pea Soup (serves 4)

1 onion, peeled & chopped
2 Tbs unsalted or salted butter
2 boxes (10 oz each) frozen peas-and-carrots blend, thawed
1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth
1/4 tsp. ground ancho or chipotle chile pepper

In medium saucepot over medium heat, cook onion in butter 5 min., or until soft and translucent. Add thawed peas & carrots, chicken broth and ground ancho chile pepper; bring to a boil. Remove soup from heat. In food processer or blender, carefully puree hot pea mixture to desired consistency. Sprinkle with chopped fresh oregano and serve with a dollop of sour cream, if desired. (I use salt to taste after it's been pureed.)

Wait til you take a bite...it's sweet at first, then the pepper kicks in. HOO! And get this: it's only 5 (FIVE!) ingredients. Try it.

I am convinced the absolute prerequiste to fundamentalism is to lose your sense of humor.

Are you who you are only when you're ALONE?

If man could know the mind of God, then God would be no greater than the man who knew Him.
