Pea Soup of the Ancients

Legend has it that the Pea Soup of the Ancients was the go-to comfort food of the great, great, great, etc., grandmothers of our ancestors. A hearty, warming concoction that defied the harsh winters of yesteryear.

To make it, gather the following:

Ingredients

• 1 cup of dried-out-of-the-mind peas
• 2 cups of water that's been left to sit in the corner since 1987
• 1 tablespoon of that fancy stuff that's supposed to be good for your heart (but probably not really)

Combine these with the power of your own, two fists, to create:

Instructions

1. Clutch those peas like your life depends on it (because, let's be honest, it kinda does)
2. Mash those peas into oblivion with your trusty spoon
3. Stir in that weird, old water and the mysterious heart-stuff, then let it sit for a while, like, a REALLY long while
4. Voila! Serve, and bask in the warm, golden glow of your ancestors' love
