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:

Pea Soup:

Ingredients:
2½ T of dried peas (green or yellow) ground to make 3 T pea flour
1 ½ c. cold water
2 t chicken bouillon

Directions:
Mix ½ c cold water and 3 T pea flour in a bowl, set aside. Bring 1 cup and 2 t of chicken bouillon to a boil. Add in pea mixture. Bring back to a boil. Soup will thicken. You can add shredded carrots, veggies, or onion powder.

      Just by looking at the recipe, I’d say one bowl. If you wanted to make enough for a whole pot, it would take a lot of bouillon, but you could always substitute the water with chicken broth.

      So, if you made around 3 quarts of soup, it would be 2 cups of pea flour and 12 cups of broth. (Or you could use water and broth if your broth is concentrated) If you want veggies, I suggest cooking them in the broth and then adding the pea flour.

        Or, if 3 quarts is too much:

        2/3 C. pea flour to one quart broth or
        1 1/3 C. pea flower to 2 quarts broth.

        And so on and so forth. Use 2/3 C flour for every quart of soup you want.

    I can relate. My husband works out of state, so when we travel with him, the food is all different in stores and in restaurants. We lived in Georgia for 18 months and now we are back north. I miss Publix!! http://thepreparedhousehold.blogspot.com/
