I have always loved split pea soup and this version adds a few more spices than the normal, somewhat bland, version.
Try serving it with a generous portion of crusty french bread or alongside a kale salad. Green + Green helps keep you healthy!
If you want an even hardier soup, try adding a large, diced potato with the split peas or 1/4 cup pearled barley during the last 25 to 35 minutes of cooking. (You may need to add some additional veggie broth if the soup is too thick.)
ENJOY!

I just returned from a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy. It is an absolutely beautiful country and the people are amazingly kind. My only complaint is there is not a lot of vegan food.
I have always loved Pasta Fagioli but the restaurants there used chicken broth for a base and usually included some type of meat.
After I returned home and stocked up the refrigerator I created the following recipe. You can eliminate the Tofurky Spinach Pesto Sausage but it does add a lot of flavor to the dish.
ENJOY!

When I was growing up there was one “fancy” restaurant in my small upstate NY town, The Knotty Pine. One of my mom’s favorite dishes from there was “Chicken Marsala”.
Every time I would go back home to visit I would plea with the restaurant’s owner to share the recipe. Well, after asking at least 500 billion times, she finally agreed.
I have always wanted to try and make it “chickenless” and did so last night. The end result was positively scrumptious. It is quite a tedious process but well worth it!
Enjoy!
