Sunday Supper

April 10, 2024

Soup simmering on the stove. The smell of fresh baked wheat rolls drifting through the house. It just doesn't get any better. This pea soup takes a long time to cook, but is very little work so it's great for a Sunday spent at home. The leftovers can be frozen or eaten for lunch or a quick supper later in the week. It tastes so much better than processed soup from a can and if you've ever read the ingredient list on a can of soup, you'll be glad to avoid it. If you have a bread machine the rolls are very easy too. Homemade rolls also avoid alot of unsavory ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils { trans fats} and mono and diglycerides. This is a also a low cost meal, it was less than four dollars to make the whole pot of soup.
