Green Stuff

I really did mean to still post any new soup we try, but haven't kept up with it. Could have something to do with our lives being tossed into total upheaval with the move. But things are settling back down.

Slit Pea Soupp
from all.recipes.com
* 1 pound dried split peas
* 10 cups water
* 1 pound smoked sausage of your choice, sliced
* 5 cubes chicken bouillon
* 1 1/2 cups chopped carrot
* 1 cup chopped celery
* 2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
* 2 bay leaves
* 1 onion, chopped

In a 5 quart slow cooker, combine the peas, water, sausage, bouillon, carrot, celery, potatoes, garlic powder, oregano, bay leaves, and onion. Cover, and cook on High for 4 to 5 hours. Remove bay leaves before ladling into bowls.

We agreed that we'd prefer ham over the smoked sausage. I told the kids that I cut all the peas in half. I don't know if they believed me or just played along with my silliness.

I forgot to take a picture, but I did take one of my pretty loaf of bread.
