Week of food `Dinner`

Before I get on with recipe I have to mention that I have sold 7 prints!!!! Yeah!!! Thanks so much for your support!

Split Pea Soup with Sausage.

1.5 cups of dried green split peas rinsed
1 quart of chicken stock
3 cups of water
1 onion chopped
2 carrots diced
2 stalks of celery diced
1 pound of sausage sliced (I use chicken)
salt and pepper to taste
lime juice

In a heavy bottomed pot add the split peas and cover with water, bring to a boil and simmer for about 30 minutes, add more water if needed.

In a large dutch oven heat some olive oil and add the onions, carrots and celery and cook for a few minutes, then add the sausage. Cook until the sausage is browned. Add the chicken stock, water and cooked split peas. Simmer for another 20-30 minutes and add salt and pepper to taste (don't add the salt until the end of cooking as it can toughen the skin on the peas) Add a good squeeze of fresh lime juice to each bowl before serving!
