Personal Notes:
If using dried pigeon peas, soak beans overnight then add with celery, onion, garlic to boil. If soup is not as thick as you'd prefer. Remove some potatoes, mash in a separate bowl then stir back into soup. Or dissolve 1 tbsp cornstarch in 2 tbsp cold water, stir mixture into soup and let boil a few minutes to thicken. Soup can also be made in slow cooker.
