You could use applesauce, margarine or butter in place of oil, if you prefer. Use the same measurement.

Cabbage, Bean and Wheat Berry Soup

Wanted to make split pea soup the other night, but after I sauteed all the vegetables, I opened the freezer to get out the split peas and found out I didn't have any! Oops! So I checked out the freezer and found some wheat berries. I used a cup of them instead of the split peas and at the end of the cooking  added a can of navy beans for a little extra protein. The soup turned out to be delicious. The wheat berries gave it an interesting texture as well as taste.
