I know you said no salad, but maybe you just meant green salad. All
these flavors go well with split peas.

3 Cups shredded carrot
1 Cup raisins (regular or golden)
1 TB salad oil
1 TB honey
2 TB lemon juice
2 TB orange juice
pinch nutmeg

Toss it all together while the soup is cooking. Cover and refrigerate
to blend flavors. -aem
