I made it California Pizza Kitchen Dakota Smashed Pea and Barley Soup

[Guest guest]

I only needed a green onion so am eating it without. I added one minced serrano

pepper. I sure like it.

I'm taking some to work tomorrow. Thanks for sharing it.

 I can't say that I've made split pea soup from scratch.  I'll have to try the

recipe in my pressure cooker to inhance the flavors even more.  With this recipe

I'll be able to make enough to feed an army since I'm single.  I've never

thought about cornbread with split pea soup, but alway make pumpnickle croutons

to go with mine.  I get a loaf from WM and cube it up, then let it dry out in

the low oven.  I toss them with oilve oil inflused with dried herbs.  I put them

on top of my soups with parm cheese.  Yum.  The bitterness of the bread goes

with the soups and cheese wonderfully, plus the toughness of the bread and

drying procees holds up well and doesn't have all the nasty chemicals from

crackers.  I love the idea of cornbread.  I always do mine in a caste iron 10 "

skillet pre-heated in the oven with oil so when I pour the

>  mix in it, the mix is fried a bit, so the edges are really crunchy.  Yum!
