    Just wondering if anyone has successfully added split pea soup (homemade)... to their WOE.
    I know split peas are listed on the phase one 'enjoy' list but coming from an Atkins background the carbs listed on the package freak me out!
    I am also trying to combine SBD with Suzanne Somer's food combining concept so I am trying to keep any carbs I DO eat away from my fat/protein... so I wouldn't add ham.
    SO, wondering if anyone thinks a split pea and Barley soup made with water/broth/spices will be ok...
    I am CRAVING thick creamy soups and this is all I can think of.
    Thanks!!!

    Peas, yes. Barley, no until Phase II. I'd try making it with the peas, savory, celery, some red pepper and perhaps some non-meat product like soy ham. (I'm assuming you are on Phase I.)
    Remember you can thicken soups with finely chopped mushrooms, egg yolk or even with ff shredded cheese.

    Yummy, sounds good. I just LOVE split pea soup!! I wasn't sure about the peas. I might have to take a SBD refresher course Thanks for the tastey reminder!
