Split Pea Soup on a Rainy Day

This weekend it was raining, and I decided that it would be the perfect time to make soup. I made split pea soup from a recipe I found in Martha Stewart Living's February 2009 issue. It's so flavorful, hearty, and delicious. It's great to make soup at home because there is such a feeling of accomplishment that follows. Not only that, but it's healthier for you too. This week I read a statistic that there is 25% of your daily intake of sodium in one serving of canned soup. Home made soup is nowhere near that.

So I fought hypertension, made some delicious soup, and am now set for dinner for the week on only $16.
