Mary says:
I omitted all the meat ingredients and made it vegetarian. I couldn't find yellow split peas at the store, so I substituted with garbanzo beans. When layering the ingredients in the jar, I did not put any bouillon because salt toughens the beans when added before the beans are cooked (also because I was making it vegetarian). After the beans were cooked, I added 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice, a dash of soy sauce, and salt to taste. It tastes really yummy! This soup reminds me of pasta fagioli. It's a great soup to warm you up on a cold day.
