Yellow split pea chowder

This embarrassingly easy soup is vegan and gluten-free, but it somehow manages to taste like chicken.  Ben ate it, and that’s no easy seal of approval for a legume soup to earn.  Without further ado, the ingredients: 2 small onions (or 1 large onion), chopped 4 medium carrots, chopped 4 celery stalks, chopped 2 Tbs [...]
