Split pea soup has always been a favorite of mine. This is different than the traditional pea soup made with ham. I like this one better - it's a very satisfying meal. Serve with fresh baked bread and butter or crackers. Delicious!

  • I added about one cup of water after the 7 hour cooking time. This was the best split pea soup I've ever had. From ham/bone man
