This recipe has been adapted from one found on Gina's Weight Watcher's Recipes site. (http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/03/split-
peas-soup-with-ham-2-points.html) I added more carrots, plus celery and swapped out the ham hock for a third pound of crisped bacon. My changes added 1/2 point to her recipe.

Family's Favorite Split Pea recipe. When we started this diet my son was open to food changes but insisted we didn't mess with this recipe.

Hearty split pea soup that is so easy to make. This is also one of the cheapest meals you can make, you can eat for practically pennies. This is vegetarian, and vegan, but even meat eaters will like it (my husband would say so). Only 78 calories!! If you are watching your sodium, choose Low Sodium Bouillon cubes. I buy my yellow split peas in bulk from whole/natural food stores. Wonderful autumn and winter soup.

This is a recipe I came across while living in Italy many years ago. I have added some of my favorite vegetables to it to "beef" it up and make it more hearty. It is one of my family's favorites, great for a cold fall or winter night.

This incredibly easy and delicious mushroom soup is naturally thickened by blending the soup. No need to make a roux. The soup gets its creaminess from a bit of Neufchatel cheese (which is 1/3 less fat than cream cheese) and Greek yogurt.

Pressure cooker Split pea soup

This recipe is adapted from Big Oven.com's crockpot recipe for Vegetarian Split Pea Soup. Vegetarians/Vegans who are unconcerned about sodium intake may use all vegetable broth. I was unable when I went to the store this time to find unsalted vegetable broth (I shop at Walmart). The original recipe also includes 1/4 cup of snipped parsley. I have left it out--it was probably included to intensify the color, add some flavoring and as a nutrient boost. If you want to add it to this recipe, go ahead.

Dried split peas often are soaked to speed cooking time, but that step is unnecessary when making the soup in a slow cooker.

Protein packed and perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner, this is a variation on the Whole Foods recipe by the same name. They called for a 16 oz bag of split peas... mine was 20, so I modified the recipe to make it work! I also used red instead of yellow onion, and used thyme in place of bay (because I was out).

A great way to get more greens into your diet!
