From Split Peas to Soup

I brought the ingredients,
All that it took,
So we could, together,
Have something to cook.

I opened the package
And, quick as a shot,
But carefully, Henry
Poured them in a pot.

He added some water
And sprinkled some dill.
I chopped up the carrots;
The cauldron did fill.

The mixture did simmer;
Aromas did rise.
I added some alphabets
As a surprise.

At last it was finished.
The wait was replaced
By the pride Henry felt
At his very first taste.
