Oh, and lowered the carrots and upped the onion - very good.

Kinda makes a person want to bake a loaf of bread--so as to turn it into toast and spread it with jam.Ed Bruskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217850970833353800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-5344798063961159542008-01-03T23:55:00.000-05:002008-01-03T23:55:00.000-05:00That looks really good.

Of course, then I flew to Portland and stocked up on local marionberry and huckleberry jam, and now won't touch it for months.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01472824248832737141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-6875772762153667802008-01-03T13:21:00.000-05:002008-01-03T13:21:00.000-05:00Lissa, a little experience with legumes will tell ...Lissa, a little experience with legumes will tell you which ones break up in cooking and which don't. Split peas, most lentils--they usually disappear. I choose the Puy lentils when I want some firmness.<BR/><BR/>Roman, thanks for the extra guidance on balsamic. I'm not a huge balsamic fan, because unless you spend a fortuner, what you get is a cheap knock-off. But in some instances its just what the doctor ordered.<BR/><BR/>Pam, I'm not familiar with Christmas limas. The last time I cooked with limas it was the ones I grew in the garden and I made a kind of faux-cassoulet--check the search feature for the post. It was very easy but extremely delicious.<BR/><BR/>Kelly, I see you are in the Chicago area, my old stomping grounds. It can get really cold there. Has Lake Michigan frozen yet?<BR/><BR/>Christa, I'm looking forward to watching your progress with the new garden beds. I'm going to see how far through January we can get just cooking out of the pantry. It could use a thorough sorting through.Ed Bruskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217850970833353800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-91092722228239893802008-01-02T21:42:00.000-05:002008-01-02T21:42:00.000-05:00Ah, yes, perfect season for split pea soup.

I too have leftover split peas, French lentils, and a half a bag of yellow lentils lingering about. Great way to use 'em all up. <BR/><BR/>I never had Balsamic on soup. Must try!Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01905386163490128028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-61664247065858126042008-01-02T21:41:00.000-05:002008-01-02T21:41:00.000-05:00How hearty -- it's so cold here that I could reall...How hearty -- it's so cold here that I could really use some tasty soup.KellytheCulinarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157742508302761756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-45504793168539178782008-01-02T16:35:00.000-05:002008-01-02T16:35:00.000-05:00This sounds really good.

I picked up some of them and I'm not sure how I want to fix them.pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651944290195111894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-59238958613966042842008-01-02T11:45:00.000-05:002008-01-02T11:45:00.000-05:00Balsamic is excellent over lentil soup.

Oh- and it gives depth to french onion soup in case you don't cook with alcohol or don't have any on hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-62045340793909458222008-01-02T11:23:00.000-05:002008-01-02T11:23:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

I am not a fan of beans and legumes in general -- the textures make me crazy -- I hadn't realized that in a good soup peas and lentils would disintegrate -- leaving a consistency that I would probably really enjoy. I'll give this soup a shot later in the month.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for opening a whole new world of recipes!Lissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093137361172770549noreply@blogger.com
