Cream of Pea Soup $5.74


The winter is winding down in the Chicagoland and I suspect most people are as happy as me! I like the change of seasons kindof and I like the holidays, but January 1st hits and I am done with cold, windy, snowy, icy days, but unfortunatly they are never done with me until April(ish?) OK, so I thought it would be a good time to make another soup, since soup season is almost over, yea!! This time I went with one of my faves, cream of Pea, and boy was it mmm mmm good!! This recipe makes two large bowls or four cups of delicious soup.

1 cup milk .20
1 cup vegetable baby food or carrot baby food $1.69

add baby food and peas, stir and simmer for 15 minutes

pour into blender or food processor
blend for 30 second
