Description
I made split pea and barley soup and was left with only a little bit of each left. I made lentil soup, and was left with only a little bit of the bag left. I really, really wanted split pea soup tonight, so i decided to put a little bit of each in and see how it goes. I also added some turkey pepperoni instead of ham (so feel free to use whatever smoky meat you want) because…i didn't have any ham! The outcome was something unexpectedly delicious, and i think i'll be making this quite a bit in the future!
By the way, each portion of this is 6 very filling weight watchers points (recalculating for the new system) without the turkey pepperoni. With the turkey pepperoni, it's 7.
