Just makin' soup

Just gazing about the kitchen cupboards and the fridge.  What to make?  What to make?  Hmm, have half a bag of split peas, have 3/4 of an onion, have garlic, have some cilantro frozen, have jalapeno pepper frozen, have frozen turkey stock and some boxed chicken stock.

Well get out favorite frying pan, chop onion, saute in butter, add chopped cilantro, add chopped jalapeno pepper, add two bags frozen turkey stock, use up last of boxed chicken stock in fridge.
Add couple teaspoons chopped garlic, add salt and pepper.  Simmer for 90 minutes. 

Topping...topping.  O! Have bag of dressing in freezer, pour out half a bag into largish casserole dish, sprinkle salt, pepper, sprinkle of chives and drizzle generously with olive oil, bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Serve soup in bowl, top with fresh croutons.  Delicious.  Left overs are in fridge help yourself!
