Split-Pea Soup is one of my favorite early Springtime recipes because I still want warm substantial dishes when it’s still cool outside and I often have leftover ham that I need to use.
I find that the easiest way to cook from scratch is to prepare simple ingredients that can be enjoyed as an incorporated meal and then used as future ingredients in new meals remixed from the leftovers of the original me
If someone had told me 20-odd years ago that I would be making my own chicken stock, I would have rolled my eyes at them and made some snarky comment about having a life.
