Instructions:

Outdoor Split Pea Soup

Serves 2.

1 cup split peas
1 tablespoon onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 /4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Before leaving home or base camp, pre-mix all ingredients and place in a durable plastic bag or well-sealed container.

When ready to cook, add 3 cups water to a small pot, and bring to boil. Add pre-packaged ingredients and boil 30-45 minutes, depending on your elevation. If desired, add a few pieces of diced bacon or jerky to the pot. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking to the bottom. Serve when thick.
