At first I thought everyone had fallen out with me en mass, then I looked at my rss subscribers and it seems that somewhere along the line feedburner has wiped out my subscriber base and from Wednesday those subscribed to the rss (as opposed to the atom feed)aren't aware that I've been blogging at all!<BR/><BR/>So I'm hoping that explains the eerie silence and it's not that I've offended someone or become deeply dull overnight... I've been having complete horrors!!<BR/><BR/>@ Gena, Mum and Dad have theirs unblended but I live in fear of stringy chunks of meat and have to have it blended... heck I'm soooo nesh aren't I??<BR/><BR/>@ Texasaggiemom, ooh the recipe... I've got to say I'm a kind of threw it in and hope for the best kinda woman, but for those of you who are more sensible, I used 1lb of split peas,(no need to soak), two slices of bacon, a handful of pancetta chunks, two carrots, one onion, two celery sticks, two pints of chicken stock and assorted sprinkles of herbs and spices to taste, put it all in a pan, let it boil furiously for ten minutes, then simmered for almost two hours and blended...<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps!Alison Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883092950196612309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656175568786605239.post-20600557609216873202009-02-01T00:33:00.000-08:002009-02-01T00:33:00.000-08:00Vee,I make this soup too and you use yellow split ...Vee,I make this soup too and you use yellow split peas not 'green'peas,it is a s Alison says delicious and very easy!although I dontblend mine because I prefer the veg chunky.<BR/>Alison,wonderful pics,like a picture from a Cath Kidston book!
