Note: For the really health conscious you can substitute the bouillon cubes and soup pack with your favourite seasonings. i.e. chive, chopped chadon beni, celery, onion, garlic, fine leaf thyme and big leaf thyme. Add the the bouillon cube mixture and the hot pepper to the pot. Allow to simmer.
In a bowl mix the flour and a little water ( about 2/3 cup ) to make the dumpling. Roll out the dough length ways and cut into ½ " pieces. When the provision is just about cooked ( test it with an ice pick or knife), add the split peas and the dumpling. The dumplings should be done in 10 to 15 minutes time. Add salt to taste.
