Recipe Description
Pea soup with sharp cheddar dumplings. While it was cooking it reminded me of the homemade split pea soup my mom makes. Never in my life have I made dumplings so I was jumping in my kitchen with excitement watching them cook in the boiling liquid. They’re ridiculously easy too. This is the most filling soup I’ve ever made. It’s full of vegetables and that dumpling in the middle is divine!
