Here is how you make Split Pea Soup w/ squash and sweet potato:

Toss everything but the squash into a pot. Bring to a boil. Simmer for a while. Add squash after other things begin to soften. I don't like to tend this, so I bring it to a boil, then turn it off multiple times during several hours. Or you can slow cook in a crock pot.This has about a cup more water than it needs, but I like broth. Ingredients can be varied widely. This is just what I needed to use up in the fridge. Just use zero oil to keep this a very low calorie, high fiber & protein meal.Enjoy!Number of Servings: 15Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user PHIL_4-13.
