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.

Thanks Heather. I made the split pea soup for our church Lenton Meal last Friday. It was a big hit. I used vegetable broth and did not smash the potatoes and carrots, just kept them chunky. So good!
