Peas Porridge Hot
2 T butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1 container vegetable stock
1 c split peas
1 splash vinegar
Salt and Pepper
Melt the butter in a soup pot. Add the onion and carrot and cook until almost soft and golden brown. Add the peas and
stock. Cover and cook, stirring occaisionally, until the peas are soft. The longer the better (although nine days may be
overdoing it a little!).
Season with a splash of vinegar and salt and pepper.
