GREEN SPLIT PEA DHAL
Exotic yet cheep to make, this beautiful soup smells like an Indian restaraunt while it cooks, and fills you up like a meal! with the healthy fiber and protein of split peas and the vitamins and minerals of carrots, spinach, and tomatos, all in a curry base that can blow your socks off if you choose, this is one of my favorite winter and spring survival foods.
