I love soup. One of the reasons fall and winter are great times of year is that soup is almost always right! Even in Orange County, CA! I love pea and bean soups and have another recipe for Split Pea Soup on the blog but in this version, I use Trader Joe’s 10 Minute Barley in place of the potatoes and leave out some of the seasonings.
When making this soup, it is always about desired consistency. I used 8 cups of water/stock but you can always opt for more or less. It is all up to you and your personal preferences. I recommend starting out with 6 cups and adding more, a little at a time.
This soup can also be made in the crock pot and the dried, split peas can be soaked overnight to cut down on cooking time.
Any questions/comments, please let me know.
ENJOY!

My husband loves pot pies. Any time I had to go out of town and he was left in the kitchen to fend for himself. Marie Callendar’s pot pie was always on his menu of defrost, heat and eat.
Thankfully, we have come a long way and I created this one-dish sensation that is completely satisfying without the chicken or preservatives.
You can substitute any vegetables in place of the squash, green beans and broccoli. It just so happened that these were the ones I had in the refrigerator.
ENJOY!

One of the most delicious things about this nutloaf is that each ingredient presents an individual flavor. The outcome is an entree with a variety of starring sensations that also harmoniously meld together.
I have included, in the directions section, 2 different topping options for making the dish regular or gluten free.
ENJOY!
