Split Pea Soup

This is an easy soup made with dried split peas, I soaked these for about 2 hours to soften them, at this uncertain time of coronavirus/ covid 19 with many of us at home, dried peas, lentils and beans (also canned) come in handy.




Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups of dried split peas
• 3 carrots chopped 
• 2 medium potatoes diced
• 3 rashers of bacon
• 1/2 an onion chopped
• one liter vegetable stock 
• extra water as needed
• 3 cloves of chopped garlic 
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon chipotle pepper 

Method:

1.  sauté the onions and garlic and bacon then add the carrots, potatoes and slit peas and chipotle pepper
2. add stock and water and simmer for 1-2 hours until the split peas are soft. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. serve with a your favorite bread and enjoy :-)
