Vegetarian Recipes from Aunt Betty Jean

Aunt Betty Jean's kitchen always smells like no other place on earth. A combination of heavenly hash and devil's food makes her kitchen THE place to go and take a load off.......but only if you have time to exercise - a lot - afterwards.

Aunt Betty also prepares vegetarian dishes and wants to share some of her best recipes here.

Her column is updated every day or thereabouts, so check back to see what Aunt Betty's stirring up.

ALMOST CHICKEN SOUP [EGG AND DAIRY FREE]

Cold and flu keeping you in bed?
How about some almost chicken soup?

1 cup yellow split peas, dried
1/2 cup parsnips, grated
1/2 cup carrots, grated
1 bay leave
Salt and pepper, to taste

Following the directions found on the package, cook the split peas.
Halfway through cooking time, add parsnips, carrots, salt, and the bay leave.
Simmer with partially covered lid.
Remove bay leave before serving.
For a golden color and smoother taste, puree.
