Yellow Split Pea Soup
Ingredients: 2 TB butter, 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chopped onion, 3 cloves garlic-minced, 6 cups vegetable or chicken broth, 2-14.5 ounce cans of diced tomatoes with garlic, oregano and basil, 16 ounces yellow split peas-rinsed and drained, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 tsp. dry thyme leaves, generous sprinkle of cayenne pepper, 2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. black pepper
Melt butter over medium heat in a large soup pot. Saute carrots and onions until almost soft. Add garlic and sautee another minute or two. Add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 45 minutes. Makes 8 servings. This soup (high in protein and fiber) is sure to keep you warm and toasty on a cold winter night.
