  1. This is just delicious soup. I didn't measure out the ingredients, just added each to taste. I used part of a big turnip/rutabaga, white Basmati rice, extra lean ground beef with lots of canola oil added (they still fell apart somewhat), onions chopped fine (another reason they may have fallen apart), yellow split peas which I think is what is meant to be used here, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, plus the fresh mint. Too bad DH didn't try it. I will make this again.
