Making soup with split yellow peas [View all]

They look like lentils and don’t need soaking, according to the bag.

I went to the food bank today and they were overflowing with produce and generosity. Using the items they gave me, along with some spices and wine from my cabinet, this is what I’ve got cooking:

Leeks
Onion
Garlic
A little hot chile pepper (glad I tasted it before dumping in the pot! Yi! Spicy!)
Mushrooms
Diced heirloom tomatoes
Splash white wine (all that was left in the bottle)
salt, pepper, thyme, curry powder, bay leaf
yellow split peas
sweet corn cut off the cob
V8 and water
chopped some Kale and Swiss Chard to add towards the end

It smells divine, have about 20 min till I need to add the greens.
Will report back.
