It was!  I've typed many messages and read down all the way as at the bottom
after the MM, are notes for you on what is usable for that soft food need just
now.  I hope some of them help!

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: Xxcarol's outa-stuff Pea soup
 Categories: Xxcarol, Crockpot, Soups, Cheap
      Yield: 12 Servings
 
     16 oz Dry split green peas
    1/2 c  Chopped turnips
    1/2 c  Chopped onions
      1 tb Tumeric
      1 tb Dry mustard powder
      1 tb Bacon or sausage grease
      3 ea Bouillon cubes (chicken)
      1 ea Small red bell pepper, chop
      1 qt Water
 
  It's snowing here in Sasebo, and gosh but it stuck to the ground!
  That almost never happens here.  Meantime, I got caught a bit low in
  the larder and needed something warm for us to munch on.
  
  I hunted and found little in my normal set of foods but there was a
  lonely bag of dried green split peas I'd gotten on a special for
  42cents USA, and some turnips. I was about to snag the last apple too
  but Charlotte (9YO daughter) beat me to it <g>.  No ham or pork meat
  products.  1 last Japanese Red bell pepper though (smaller and more
  packed with flavor than USA types).
  
  So it was off to check some recipes as I've never made pea soup and
  didn't know much about it.  I mixed and matched from about 14 recipes
  (10 of which I posted in the COOKING echo that same day) to come up
  with this. While not totally 'origional', there isn't anything like
  this mix in my MM database so perhaps you all will enjoy the fusion
  of recipes.
  
  Chop all the veggies up (roughly peel the turnip first) as big as you
  want them to be.  I went for small on the onion and red bell pepper
  and largish bites for the turnip.  Add these and the dry split peas
  to the crockpot then add about 1 QT water (call it 2/3 full on the
  standard crockpot). Add in chicken bouillon (or you could have used
  stock for the water) and the spices plus a generous dollup of bacon
  or sausage grease from that ever-present cooking can some of us have.
  
  This came out wonderful!  Serve with crusty french bread and add a
  dollup of butter to the bowl if desired.  Salt and pepper to taste
  when serving.
  
  Optional additions:  Normal things added to split pea soup like ham
  bits and carrots.  Consider very thin slices of a smoky white cheese,
  toasted onto the bread with a thin sprinkle of fresh ground black
  pepper.

MMMMM

No notes really for this one other than the crusty bread wouldnt work, but you
could soak a bit under the soup if you like and that would be good!
