As many of you know in the past few weeks I have been preparing a lot of bean based dishes and this one is the latest in my study in the high fiber arena. Split peas are so fun to cook with and they sure do make for a tasty soup too, here is my version that yields 8 portions of tasty goodness. And with the winter weather we have the past few weeks on the east coast this is another perfect warm treat for a cold night.

Both the brown rice and the sausage replacements make this dish higher in fiber and lower in saturated fat, and these two factors that do not compromise flavor, but enhance a well balanced meal. Served with fresh cornbread muffins and some creamed spinach on the side, this meal was a hit with our guests on Saturday evening dinner this past weekend.

This white bean recipe utilizes navy beans and turkey sausage to replace ham and ham hocks for a healthier alternative. Navy beans are a great source of fiber with over 11 grams per 1 cup cooked serving and along with 1 cup of brown rice with over 3 grams of fiber it makes this a very high fiber combination.
