A Winter soup & salad combo. Start by creating the soup. Simmer. About 10 minutes before the soup is ready to serve, make the salad. Warm up the French bread if using and serve. Skip the bread for gluten-free and the ham to make it Vegan.
Gloomy Winter days call for Split Pea Soup. If making it vegan, add smoked paprika to taste. Alternatively, highlight it with chunks of ham for the meat lovers version. This soup works well to simmer with a ham bone for additional flavor, although it is delicious without. Soak the split peas overnight and this dish will only be 45 minutes to cook, otherwise, plan on about 1-2 hours of simmering.
The dressing is simple and therefore best if using the highest quality ingredients. Freshly ground black pepper and a fruity extra-virgin olive oil will make this salad incredible as you can taste each flavor.
Okay. This is not exactly a recipe, but rather sometimes the best pairing for your meal is a crusty loaf of French bread. My family lineage is French, what can I say crusty bread seems more appropriate then not. So, here it is.
Let’s call it a reminder. In addition, here are a few tips on how to store it, keep it fresh, or use it up. Whenever possible try to find those crusty gorgeous whole-grain varieties.
