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

This is a lovely thick, hearty soup for a cold day. Served hot with garlic bread it's just delicious!

With Thanksgiving over and LOTS of ham leftover, I thought of ways to get some use out of it without burning out my family with just reheating and serving as is. This is a great soup and a nice change from all the heavy Thanksgiving meals.

Split pea soup always reminds me of my mom's cooking. I wish I could make it as good as she can but this is my spin on her soup. Very thick soup.

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

I decided to make black beans. Staring at the delicious looking blackish stock, I decided to make split lentil soup with it substituting for chicken stock.... Only like a Salty Pirate would.

We usually double this recipe, even if we only have 1 bone. It scales up really well. We like our split pea soup thick so this one simmers for many hours at the end, sometimes up to 24!

Hi!!! I finished painting our living/dining area yesterday, I did a pretty good job for someone who really doesn’t know much about painting. Just to be sure, I looked up a few videos on youtube on “how to paint a room for beginners” hahahaha.I am a bit tired, so I wanted to make something that was nutricious and gave me a little bit of an uplift, so what soup can do that for me? hmmm Lentil soup was my choice. The nutrients that exists in this soup from fiber to vitamins, are so beneficial for our bodies!!, and the greatest part about eating Lentil is it’s low in calories and since my husband drives all day long this soup is absolutely the best choice. I make this soup quite often at least once a week during the Winter and the Summer because I believe this can be eaten either hot or cold. (But that’s just me)There are two ways to cook this soup with tomatoes or without, I enjoy both versions, but this time around I wanted to share with you the tomato version.
