Cover ans immer for about 50 minutes, or until peas are tender.
If desired add 1 cup chopped cooked ham or sausage If you have a hard time finding dried carrots, they are availiable by the\"Just Tomatoes, Etc.
\"brand (available for order online at www. justtomatoes. com) which are available at a lot of stores and health food markets now adays (I've even seen them at pet stores), but if that's too much of a pain, I would just add\"add chopped carrots\" to the directions.
As for the dried onions, if you can't find those, you can add a little bit of onion powder to the recipe (~1/2tsp) or add\"Add diced onion\" to the directions.
