Split Pea Soup
2 cups dried split peas 10 cups boiling water 1 tbsp salt 1 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic,
crushed 2 small onions, chopped
1/2 tsp black pepper 1 or 2 veggie stock cubes A couple of dashes of fish-free Worcestershire sauce
(optional) A handful of fake bacon bits A couple of slices of fake ham (‘Yves' (US) or ‘Not Ham'
(UK, Oz), chopped
Boil the split peas with salt until they are soft and start to break down (about half an hour). Add
garlic, onions, stock cubes, black pepper and Worcestershire sauce and simmer for another 20 minutes
or until the onion is cooked. If you have one, take out your handheld blender and whizz it down
until smooth (not really necessary). Toss in the fake bacon and ham and let simmer for another 10
minutes. Serve with crusty bread.
