Simple Split Pea Soup -- Dandelion Day, 26th of Windy, Year 228

( Ingredients )

( Directions )

I added a bit of bacon fat that I saved from making spaghetti carbonara a week ago, as the bacon I had was fairly lean, but any mild vegetable oil would do if you don't have that.

Also I used my hickory-smoked salt from Auntie Arwen's to give it bit more of a smoky taste, but it's not required.

Serve with crusty bread, if desired.
