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.
