Give Creamed Peas a Chance

I make this dish all the time in the winter and fall when it's cold. Super great comfort food that's perfect for a cozy dinner. I have made this dish with vegetable broth and margarine to make it vegan, butter and heavy cream to make it super rich and creamy, and with any combination of broth, milk, margarine, and butter depending on how skinny I'm feeling, who I'm making it for, and what I have on hand. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have.
