I’m a huge fan of split peas. They’re low fat and absolutely packed full of protein and fiber. Also, they’re ridiculously tasty, and turning them into a delish soup is pretty much perfect on a cold night. Just sayin’.
Over the past three weeks, we’ve been bringing you some of our fave vegan recipes that just so happen to be cheap, super simple, and packed full of flavor. This recipe is no different: It’s very cheap—it makes 4 servings for less than 3 bucks. Dunk some crusty bread or crackers in this Split Pea Soup, and you’ll be all set.
What you need:
Total: $2.18
Grab a large pot and combine all ingredients except salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for approximately 45 to 50 minutes, until you have your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Eat up!
YUM! What’s your fave soup recipe?
P.S. Since this recipe makes 4 servings, be sure to share some with your fam—your parents will be super impressed that you made soup from scratch!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

Looks delicious! I’m personally a fan of kale, white bean and mushroom soup. You get your protein and your leafy greens in one pot. You can add potatoes to make it heartier, too.
