Introduction

Picking fresh from the garden in the morning makes for a wonderfully light meal in the evening. Add BLSL chicken breast for a heartier protein packed meal. I serve this with Flaxseed crackers or Flaxseed Bread. Picking fresh from the garden in the morning makes for a wonderfully light meal in the evening.

Ingredients

    Ingredients:

    4 cups dried split peas (1 - 1lb bag)
    3 stalks celery
    3 large carrots
    2 medium or 1 large yellow onion
    4 cloves chopped garlic
    4 TBSP EVOO
    6 cups water (or low sodium chicken stock for richer flavor)
    salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Soak peas overnight, clean and remove any debris. Place in your slow cooker.
Sautee celery, carrots, garlic and onion in EVOO for 7-8 minutes until just tender over very low heat so the garlic doesn't burn. Add sautéed vegetables and water (or broth) to the rehydrated peas. Slow cook on low temperature for 2-4 hours. Puree in batches until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
