Coconut Curry Split Pea Soup

Soup is a great way to eat healthy even on the job site. Most soups only require a chopping board to cut up your veggies and one pot to cook the soup. You can make a couple different large batches of soup and  freeze some for a different week.

Heat some soup in the morning and put it in a thermos to take for lunch. You can pair your soup with a sandwich made from whole grain bread or salad.
