This soup is lovely. The addition of dill and fresh peas really freshens it up. It takes a bit of time to cook split peas, so make it on the weekend or in the evening when you have time to let it sit on the stove for awhile. Make it in the slow cooker if you…

Spinach and Lentil Soup
This is my favourite winter soup and I make it often for ski lunches. It is hearty and delicious, and so easy to prepare. You can make this with any dark leafy green you have on hand. Because I make it often, I will rotate the greens. One week with spinach, the next with kale…
