What is considered “a small bag of baby carrots?” Is it 1 lb? 1/2 lb?
Thank you.
just wanted to doule check on the frozen butternut squash . is it the pureed squash or is it cubes of butternut squash. thanks
Use water and powdered veg. soup to make broth.
thanks Bonnie do you have a brand name for 48 oz cans I have never seen them so large and one last question do you cook the soup covered or uncovered
Thanks Tamar I will ask Bonnie since it is her recipe Bonnie-how long do you cook the soup for -you dont say also what brand vegetable broth comes in 48 oz cans thanks
The recipe shows 2- 48 ounce cans. I usually buy a reduced-sodium type. I’d say the cooking time is between 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Sometimes you may need to add a little water if you desire a thinner soup. I like to practically eat mine with a fork!
So glad you like my recipe! It is truly a crowd-pleaser at any holiday.
Yes, it’s 1 pound bags of split peas and a 12 ounce box of frozen squash.
Enjoy!!
1 pound each.
I find that pea soup tastes best after about 4 hours of cooking, but they are soft and ready after about 1 hour. So it depends on your preference.
Tamar what about the 48 oz cans of vegetable broth where do you find them. do you have a brand name. also 4 hours wow that is longer than I cook my chicken soup
This is not my recipe, so I am not sure, I would honestly end up using water and just adding more salt. The store bough broths are too expensive for me. I know, it is long, but I just find whenever I try and do it for less I am not as happy. But I also prefer my chicken soup to cook all day, so it is personal preference. If you have a pressure cooker both can be made much faster.
It should be a 1 lb bag of each of the peas. The frozen butternut squash comes in 12 oz. packages.
In this recipe, how many ounces in your package of green split peas? yellow split peas? and the boxes of frozen butternut squash?
how long do you cook the soup-it doesnt say also who makes such large cans of broth even the cardboard ones only have 32 oz
what size are the packages. I have split peas in bulk so I need the weights to do this recipe correctly.
How much butternut squash exactly? This recipe sounds yummy! Woudl love to make it for Shabbat.
Sure, I wasn’t sure so gave you both.
( grin) thank you; I needed the weight, but my phrasing wasn’t clear :-). Still, question answered !
A 1 pound package is between 1 and 2 dollars in the NY area.
How much is a package in the USA?
This looks excellent ! Think it would be great with fresh Rosemary.Love it will try it out. And it’s healthy, too.
They are in bags with the other dried beans, Goya sells them amongst others.
Where does one find the split peas in the grocery store? Are they in bags with the various beans? Or are they somewhere else?
this soup sounds easy and amazing! definitely something i will try soon
