Pea Potato Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 cup organic dried green split peas
• 2 cups good water
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 large tomato, chopped
• 1 medium potato, cut into chunks
• 3 carrots, cut into chunks
• ½ cube or to taste ORGANIC GOURMET vegetable bouillon, crumbled
• freshly ground pepper, to taste
• herbs as desired

Directions:

In large bowl, soak peas in water overnight. Drain and rinse peas. Place in soup or crock pot. Add 2 cups of fresh water, garlic, tomato, potato, carrots and bouillon cube. Cook soup on low heat until peas are soft. (Note: While soup is cooking, check potatoes and carrots- if they soften before the peas, remove them, set aside and add back before serving.) Season with pepper and herbs to taste. Serve with crusty wheat bread and cheese.

Serves 4 to 5.
