Split Pea Soup paired with Rustic No-Knead Whole Grain French Bread

I used hard red wheat and ancient grains for added nutrition and robust flavor. I prefer to make round artisan-shaped loaves and I love to use the bow bread knife with a cutting board. I prefer to make this bread in a mixing bowl without a mixer. Something is calming and rewarding to making a loaf of bread by hand. I recently listened to the book on CD,Bread Therapy.This book was a Christmas gift from my daughter. I enjoyed the CD so much; I have also bought the book. I highly recommend it to those of you who love to bake bread. Our cooking becomes much more than just eating — we are creating experiences. As we find ourselves home more now than in times past, Hygge family eating experiences can create memories. Engaging and finding the silver lining during these pandemic times will write volumes for our children and the next generation. Food is one of these ways we connect. As many of you know who follow my posts, I love ancient grains. Each of the recipes today includes ¼ cup of my weekly grain mixture. I have found that soups are fun and easy to make when I use a food chopper. There are many styles to pick from at Kitchen Kneads. ¼ cup each of: Teff, Quinoa, Amaranth, Millet (all available at Kitchen Kneads) Place in a multiuse cooker such as aZavor.  Add 1 ½ cups water, a dash of salt, and a ¼ teaspoon of oil of choice and pressure cook on high for 6 minutes. Let steam release naturally. Fluff with a fork. I use this mixture as a base for my grain bowls, add it with oatmeal or any other cooked cereal. I add ¼ cup into my soups, chicken, tuna, or salmon salads, and even smoothies. I chose these grains because they are full of protein-packed nutrition, blend easily into any recipe, and honestly, I love the flavor. Split pea soup is a delightful blend of flavors that come together to create a comforting and satisfying dish. The star of the show, the split peas, have a mild and nutty taste that becomes incredibly creamy when cooked. The soup is often enhanced with the addition of savory ingredients like onions, garlic, and carrots, which we are using today to lend a delicious sweetness and depth to the overall flavor profile.  Herbs and spices such as thyme, bay leaves, and black pepper add a subtle earthiness and warmth, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. The result is a hearty and wholesome soup that is both comforting and nourishing,  and a family favorite. I challenge you to try a new soup recipe this month and a delicious loaf of bread to accompany the soup as well. Enjoy these recipes. They are two of my favorites!!
