--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2       c            Dried split peas
   3       md           Yams, peeled and diced
   3                    Leeks, diced
   2       tb           Sliced fresh ginger
   4                    Celery stalks, diced
   3                    Carrots, diced
   1       t            Salt
   3       tb           Braggs aminos
                        Water
     1/8   ts           Cayenne pepper

  Place all the ingredients except the cayenne pepper in
  a large pot. Add water so that there are 2 inches of
  water over the vegetables. Cover, bring to a boil,
  turn down the heat and simmer for 2 hours, or until
  all the ingredients are mushy.  Stir often to prevent
  sticking. If the soup becomes too thick while it is
  cooking, add some boiling water, or your can thin it
  with a bit of water at the end of the cooking time for
  a lighter soup. Add cayenne pepper, adjust the
  seasonings, and serve.
