  1. Well, thank you very much Colleen!<br/><br/>I was going to make split pea soup but I forgot to get my peas soaking before I went to work.... your recipe literally saved our tea! <br/><br/>The ingredients were so simple that I had them all in stock (phew!), but not so simple as to create a tasteless soup. In fact this recipe created something the complete opposite of tasteless, its simply divine!<br/><br/>I served mine up with a sprinkling of smoked paprika and some freshly baked, warm wholemeal rolls. Delish! <br/><br/>I also used soya milk and a splash of soya cream instead of replacing the normal milk with broth. Worked well!<br/><br/>F.G.<br/>(www.flash-gordonette.com)
     
  2. Very good! I didn't add as much carrott and added a little more onion. I also processed all of the soup in the food processor. Will fix again!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Canada, and I work in the restaurant industry (not a chef!). Don't have a favorite cookbook, but I love these internet sites, (especially this one, where you can get the dietary info - that's cool). I'm pretty passionate about animals, and about my health, (regardless of what my beer and cigarette habit might say about me!). The majority of food I like to eat is vegetarian, if not, vegan. I am able to enjoy a good steak every now and again, however. As long as I don't have to cook it. (I hate cooking meat - makes such a mess...) I have recently had a month off - I took the time to backpack around Mexico by myself. Crazy? Nah. Well, maybe...
