A frugal recipe
Okay readers, time for some Whitey money saving tips on how to feed a family of five using as little cash as possible.
This week - Yellow Split Pea Soup (and yes, this is a real recipe, thanks to fellow frugalist Nick).
Ingredients:
2 cups of dried yellow split peas, washed and soaked in water overnight
5 or 6 cups of water
1 large onion, chopped
3 carrots, chopped small
1 small turnip cut into small cubes
Salt and pepper to taste
Place the split peas in a large saucepan and cover well with water. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for about an hour or until the peas are soft and starting to go a bit mushy. Add the onion, carrots and turnip and cook for a further 20 minutes until everything is tender. Season and enjoy with wholemeal bread...or homemade herb and garlic bread.
To stretch it even further, add more water.

Very tastee.
Can I recommend that you useth your shower water for the 5-6 cupths of water required.
Water is expensthive these dayths.
and save the salt and pepper for yourself - kids tastebuds are very immature so they'll never know.
by this stage in your relationship the wife will have a stash of her own so you're just wasting it putting it in the stew.
Dougal - so true, so true.
