Split Pea Soup

This is another soup I make for housemate that I want to log for future reference.  

Ingredients:
1 large onion or 2 medium, chopped
1 large carrot or 2 medium, sliced
1-2 potatoes, peeled & chopped
1 cup green or yellow split peas
1/2 tsp marjoram
1/2 tsp basil
1/4 tsp ground cumin
fresh ground pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp liquid smoke
5 cups water

Combine everything into the InstantPot pressure cooker, and cook for 10 minutes.

Today's food

Breakfast was some pineapple topped with a little bit of coconut shavings.

I ate a bunch of raw carrots throughout the day.

Lunch was a big salad.   I made up a new batch of my seed mixture where I grind up flax and sesame seed and add that to hemp hearts and chia seeds and mix it all up.  Then I can top that on various things.  Today I mixed it with orange juice and balsamic vinegar to make a dressing for my salad.  Here's my salad before and after a little work on the jigsaw puzzle.

I also made up a batch of split pea soup from this recipe.  I love this recipe!  I added extra cumin and curry because I love it.  I had a couple of small bowls already.

For dinner I'm going to a potluck.  I'm bringing a bunch of baked sweet potatoes and some cooked broccoli.   I'll heat up the potatoes, cut them in half, and put the out on a plate next to some butter, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice.  And I'll put out the broccoli on another plate.  Then I can eat some too, yippee.  It's hard to beat that for a meal.  I won't partake in the butter and maple syrup but I'm sure others will prefer it.
