Split Pea Soup
I’m almost embarrassed to admit it but I’ve never cooked with dried beans or legumes, ever! I had to change that so I bought some green split peas, known for their earthy flavour. Then I drew inspiration from split pea soup which I soon discovered is really, really fattening. Here is my lightened up version and man is it good! You get a little smoke from the bacon with a marginal amount of the calories.
