Real French-Canadian Pea Soup image

This pea soup recipe has been in my family longer than anyone can remember, and is AT LEAST as old as my great, great grandmother, probably older than that even. My favorite soup ever, and now it is my husbands fave too. This is a vegan version, although it is lacto-vegetarian normally. Meat was only added to the soup by certain members of the family, and typically only for company.

Steps:

This is the worst pea soup I've ever had. I would not recommend it to anyone.

This soup is too thick for my taste. I added some water to thin it out.

I'm not a big fan of dill, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious.
