Food Storage Recipe: Pea Soup

If any of you have ever lived in one state, or country, then moved to another where your favorite restaurants, or foods were no longer you’ll understand this post… (For example: anyone leave Utah and miss Cafe Rio?)

Growing up as a kid in Canada I always ate “Habitant Pea Soup”. It was warm and delicious on a cold winters day. When I moved to the States I could never find my favorite soup and lived for 10 years without it! While in a class about legumes I stumbled upon Rita Bingham’s Country Beans book and found this recipe.

It tasted just like my favorite childhood soup, was EASY, and or course, used food storage. Here’s the recipe:
