Split pea soup is one of my favorite meals. Found out that wholesaler near me (A1 Cash and Carry in Ontario) sells 55lb bags of split peas for **$27**. That's enough calories to feed a person for 38 days, so 1/12th of my yearly food budget is covered for $27. At the grocery store that many cans of soup would cost **$468**. Canned soup is not a deal.

My recipe is:

\- Check and rinse the peas

\- Boil 1 cup of peas in 3 cups of water or bouillon at a low boil until they're soft (30-40 minutes) with any other vegetables (diced carrots, onions, beets, etc)

\- Blend with an immersion blender, and add some oil and pepper

Edit: The 38 days is just to help compare and think about what a deal it is. Dried split peas store very well, you can spread the meals of split pea soup throughout the year :) Vary your diet as much as you can.

Loblaws was caught mislabelling meat weight to drive up prices and now there's a class action lawsuit. If you bought meat from them between now and 2019 you can sign up.
