Split Peas

[SGWhiskers]

I was sickened from home made split pea soup a while back. The peas did not list wheat, but we deduced they must have rolled off a shared line. So, now I would like to figure out if I can make split pea soup from either frozen or canned peas (I would prefer frozen due to sodium). I would also like to figure out if I can make a multibean soup from canned beans. I don't want to even go near the chance of getting CC again.

Anyone have a starting point for a recipe?

Sorry you got sick!

I've got a great cold weather dish...

Brown 1 pound of ground beef

Add Hillshire Farms Kielbasa cut in small bite size pieces

Add a chopped onion and a green pepper

Add three cans of different beans - juice and all or (If frozen, add some tomato sauce, chopped canned tomato or Swansons Chicken broth)

Season with Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce

Salt and Pepper

Throw in a can of tomatoes if you choose. And freezes well. I always make a huge pot

Don't you sort through your dried peas and rinse them well?

I get very gassy from split peas, but they don't make me sick. Alpha-galactosidase enzyme should help. Just saying if that is what it is. Or Bean-zyme.

It's not unusual to find grains of some kind of grain in bags of lentils or beans or split peas. I have seen recommendations to spread them out on a plate and carefully sort, removing anything that isn't a pea or lentil, then rinse them carefully to remove any remaining dust from the grain. I wouldn't expect that to make it completely gluten-free, but maybe low enough to not cause symptoms. I miss split pea soup too, and I had been blaming the ham I cooked in it, but it was probably a sneaky ninja grain of barley or something.
