The weather is getting cooler and I have been in soup mode. Mostly I have been making my own soups, but today I decided to try the split pea soup that has been sitting in my pantry for a couple months. At first sight I wondered if something was wrong with it. It looked pretty much like a lighter colored dog food sliding out of the can. I had to look at the can again to make sure that I had read it correctly that it was not condensed... it wasn't. Hmm, could this really be okay to eat? I went on a hunt online and only found one review on the soup, and they said it appeared very thick but after heated was smooth and velvety...um, never quite got that so I added some water. Much better in appearance with the added water. I tasted it... and then contemplated throwing it away, not very good... Dieting I have tried to learn not to waste my calories on things I don't really think taste very good. BUT, its so full of fiber and so low fat I decided to take another taste... then added some fresh ground pepper, celery salt, and onion powder. MUCH better. I think I may just enjoy this. Its probably not something I will buy again, because in general things in the can form I would like to be able to just take to work and throw in the microwave for lunch and, for me, this isn't an eat right out of the can soup...UPDATE: I couldn't get through this soup, definitely won't be purchasing this again.
