SPLIT PEA & LAMB SOUP

Steps:

• Sort peas, discarding any debris. Rinse peas; drain, and set aside. In a 5 to 6 quart pan over high heat, combine celery, onion, lamb, garlic, bay leaf, and ½ cup water. Cover and simmer rapidly for 10 minutes. Uncover, turn heat to high, and stir often until browned bits stick in pan. Deglaze by adding ⅓ cup water and stirring to scrape browned bits free. Stir often until liquid evaporates and browned bits form again. Repeat deglazing step several more times until vegetables are a rich brown, about 30 minutes total. To pan, add split peas and 7 cups chicken broth; bring to a boil on high heat. Cover and simmer until peas mash easily, about 1 hour. Discard bay leaf. (You can chill soup at this step, and continue the next day). Transfer 3 cups soup (but no meat) to a blender or food processor. Whirl until smoothly pureed. Return to pan. For thinner soup, add more broth. Stir on high heat until hot.

• Freezer Note: Making up a double batch of soup is economical of energy and time - you'll do slightly more work now, use the same amount of energy to cook, and save yourself time and energy later on, when you want a quick, nutritious dinner. Just defrost in microwave, reheat well and serve
