Split Pea Soup Puree Recipe
This split pea is a hearty soup, that serves between 4-6 people. The recipe is absolutely delicious and keeps fresh in air tight containers for up to 1 week! I love a good soup especially when it is rainy or chilly outside. This meal also pairs nicely with the roasted pumpkin seed recipe, posted on the blog!
Enjoy!!
