QUICK & EASY SPLIT PEA SOUP
Originally entitled 1-2-3 Pea Soup in Jenifer Lang Cooks For Kids. This is a thick, vegetarian soup, so good that even little picky-eaters will love it. The kids have grown up and left our nest, but DH and I still enjoy this soup often!

Steps:
- Combine peas, rice, and water in a saucepan or small stock-pot; bring to boil then reduce heat; add vegetables, salt, pepper, and bay leaf to pot.
- Simmer for one hour; discard bay leaf and, if desired, partially mash up the soft-cooked split peas with the back a large spoon. Alternately, you may puree the soup in a blender or food-processor before serving.
- For more flavor, you may use broth or homemade stock instead of water, or use a combination of half tomato juice and half water. You may also add 1/2 teaspoon cumin for a southwestern flavor, OR (one or the other, not both) add a bit of rubbed sage for a "smoky" note.
