I sent my husband to the store for milk and bread- milk, bread, bacon and a bunch of things later I was holding a 25 ounce container of Safeway Signature Golden Split Pea Soup in my hands. We are on a grocerie budget so I had never purchased these before, but it was on sale. $4.99 for 25 ounces. Thats a bit steep for my cheap self but it was absolutly delicious! I made it go a bit further by adding a drained can of corn to it. This made it stretch much further and didnt affect the taste much at all, in fact I think it made it better! I think some cooked cubed potatoes added in would turn this into a really great hearty soup!
As it comes a 1 cup serving size (about 3 to a container) was 200 calories 3 g of fat high which is 13.5% calories from fat. It comes ready made and only needs to be heated for 5 minutes in the microwave.
I too loved this soup that also contained half the days fiber in one serving! They have recently discontinues it and I am devastated! I have been trying to get the recipe with no luck, any ideas?
Thanks,
Ami
