Split Pea Soup with Potatoes

This simple dinner is perfect for Lent. Some Franciscan orders only eat Split Pea soup for all their meals for Lent as a sacrifice!  This soup is a little more hardy with potatoes and carrots.  Even though it is a simple meal, my children even enjoyed the taste. I like how easy it is to make too.  Just add all the ingredients, simmer for 80 mins, and it is ready to go!  My family enjoys this meal with a crusty bread on the side.
