I wanted to make something hearty and healthy for my toddlers. The bone broth takes some time to stew... I like to let it cook overnight and then prep the rest of the soup the next day. You can always substitute the bone broth for packaged chicken or bone broth from store to save time.

This is a very plain and very cheap soup recipe. The idea is that you can add whatever you have to make it better.

So creamy & delicious. Can easily be made vegan and never lose a bit of flavor. One of my favorite foods.

TipsFor a more aromatic flavor, it's recommended to use Bullhead brand chicken broth cubes and hot and sour soup cubes. Use a small spoon to scoop out a bit of the hot and sour soup cube, and wrap the rest in plastic wrap to store in the fridge for next time.Be sure to sauté the onions and greens first to bring out the sweetness in the broth. If you don't want to use butter, you can substitute with olive oil or regular salad oil.Thoughts After EatingThe finished soup has a sweet vegetable flavor with a mild spicy and sour taste. It's also great for making noodle soup!

I love thick, hearty soups and this one is a family favourite. The kids love it, just make sure you wash out the bacon or it can be very salty

A winter classic! This soup is a great field hot luncheon to take in a thermos flask when working outside on a cold day.Dried split peas are peas that have been halved, the outer shell removed, to speed up the drying process. Split peas take 24 hours to reconstitute, plus slow boil 3 hours in a dutch oven.Whole peas have their outer shells intact, more nutrients, are creamier, and take the same time. Makes a hearty meal with fresh baked farm breads, especially rye breads. We grow and dry our own peas whole, and blanch and freeze them fresh.

This super easy recipe is by David Tanis. Sautéing the leeks and parsnips very slowly, to concentrate flavor before adding liquid, is the key to success.#GoldenApron23 #vegan #vegetarian

This is a healthier version of my ham soup. The blended peas add some sweetness while giving the soup a nice hardy thickness.

A favorite growing up... If you have a ham bone handy, throw it in, although I usually just use chopped ham...

So so good. Takes an eternity to get this on the plate. But well worth the wait.

My husband says it's better than Anderson's Split Pea. You be the judge!
