Description
Smoky split pea soup with meat and barley is a traditional Estonian Shrove Tuesday meal. Since I don’t eat meat and neither can have barley because it contains gluten, I made my own vegan Candida diet friendly version of it using brown rice noodles I found from Umami store to give it an extra kick.
