Article: Recipe Swap; Pass the soup, peas; 18th Century French Canadian Pea Soup

In response to Marianne Pano's request for a Canadian pea soup recipe that uses whole yellow peas instead of split green ones, Gisele Lecteur sent in this recipe for 18th Century French Canadian Pea Soup from Old Fort Niagra. A very similar recipe was sent in by Phyllis MacKown, who got it from the 1961 edition of the New York Times Cookbook. The only real difference was that MacKown's recipe called for parsnips in addition to the carrots.

18th Century French Canadian Pea Soup

1 pound yellow peas
