         Title: Old Time Split Pea Soup   
    Categories: Crockpot, Soups   
         Yield: 1 Batch   
       
     1 1/2 c  Dried yellow split peas   
         1 cn Diced tomatoes *   
         2 tb Dijon mustard   
         5 c  Meat or vegetable broth   
         4 cl Garlic; minced   
         2    Carrots; sliced thin   
         2    Celery ribs; sliced   
         1 c  Onion; diced   
       1/2 tb Dry thyme   
              Bacon or salt port;   
              - well rinsed (optional)   
       
     * Originally called for a jar of home-canned tomatoes, size unknown.   
        
     I was clearing another layer of my mother's old papers and came   
     across this recipe of my Grandmother's. It had been tweaked a bit by   
     her to fit the depression era and stood strong through the war years   
     (WWII).   
        
     I have modernized it a bit and converted to crockpot methods. Along   
     the side was a hard to read 'mustard' recipe but it seemed very   
     similar to Maille brand Old style whole grain dijon mustard so I used   
     that as handy. Like many, she made her own vegetable broth just as I   
     do today. It was very much a 'waste not, want not' era. The recipe   
     says to use strong beef, pork or chicken broth if you have it,   
     vegetable broth if not.   
        
     The only way I know it was yellow split peas is her remark on how   
     cheery it looked with it's yellows and reds (tomatoes) plus bits of   
     orange (carrot).
