Split Pea Soup by Jan McCracken
Lots of people love split pea soup but have a notion that it's difficult to create. The creamy texture of this soup is sure to satisfy your yearning for “creamy stuff,” and it's totally lactose free!
Sort and wash dried peas. Place peas in a large heavy saucepan.
Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until peas are tender, about 1 hour.
Process half the mixture at a time in a blender until smooth. Serve hot.
