Split Pea soup is a good weeknight meal. My wife and I eat legumes once a week. Usually on Monday. I make large batches and freeze them in containers that will serve the two of us. Most legumes freeze reasonably well. Legumes are economical and good for you. Served with a salad they make for a warming meal as cooler weather comes on. Wine: Charles Shaw "Two Buck Chuck" Merlot for a economical and healthy meal.
