2. It's a bit of a joke in Ontario to call Quebecois Pea Soupers

But that looks like a great recipe for Quebecois pea soup. But ditch the boullion cubes. Chicken stock or just plain water.

But I'll have a bowl anyways, just to dip my baguette.

5. Yes, I have to confess

I've added bouillion cubes many a time, mainly for the salt and MSG.

Just gives that extra touch.
