I'll try it that way next time. Joel throws his in with the first batch of veggies from the soup with some liquid. At least I think that's what he does on the DVD.Howard Veithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029396508860758315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2077918928475268914.post-57990202915483695402009-01-27T23:08:00.000-05:002009-01-27T23:08:00.000-05:00yeah, that does remind me that I had the same prob...yeah, that does remind me that I had the same problem with the split peas. When they get old, they take longer to cook. I recall even though I had got them recently from the store, they still took a long time. I might have used a different bean the second time. I'll have to try this again soon.<BR/><BR/>oh, with the cashews, blend them in a smaller amount of liquid--that was the mistake I made, too much liquid and then it didn't blend the cashews as well.kneecaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03974416387290525978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2077918928475268914.post-28972156096411555612009-01-27T09:13:00.000-05:002009-01-27T09:13:00.000-05:00My biggest problem has been with the beans, split ...My biggest problem has been with the beans, split peas in this case. The first and second time I made this soup, the peas never fully cooked. The recipe says keep heat on the lowest setting. On my third batch I will turn the heat up higher at the beginning and cook the beans longer before adding the rest of the ingredients. <BR/><BR/>I didn't blend the cashews enough either.

The second time I didn't blend the cashews enough. But third time will be perfect.kneecaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03974416387290525978noreply@blogger.com
