Inflammation of the lungs and bronchial tubes are also common causes of shortness of breath, as is injury to the respiratory tract caused by smoking or other toxins. Shortness of breath may occur with injury to the lungs, such as a collapsed lung (pneumothorax).
In the United States, pea soup without qualification usually means a perfectly smooth puree. Split Pea Soup is a slightly thinner soup with visible peas, pieces of ham or other pork, and vegetables (most commonly carrots) and is usually made from dried, green split peas.
I just made split pea soup the other night. Yum! I use six cups for a 16oz bag of peas. Olive oil for sauteeing veggies 1 onion, chopped 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped 2 med. potatoes, cut into 1 pieces 2 cloves or garlic, chopped 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1 can diced tomatoes 16 oz split peas (I sometimes favor yellow, sometimes green) 6 cups of water
