Experiment with the TVP was a moderate success!
I say "moderate" mostly because it's tasty but I expected it to be... fluffier? Crunchier? It's flavorful enough and doesn't detract from the soup but I thought the texture would have held up better. Then again, I did throw it into a crock pot after I fried it. Regardless, it added a smoky garlicky note to the pea soup without really getting any other soy after effects.
I'ma do this again.

@literorrery consider maybe preparing some of the TVP outside of the soup, maybe in some way that dries it out then add it in just before serving.
All that said, I really liked this dish. Well done, Mistress. <3

@KoBunny @literorrery Ooh, that could work, would preserve the crunchiness a bit.
