This soup is AWESOME! I followed the recipe,with the exception of using a 16 oz. package of ham, instead of sausage and only 7 cups of chicken broth instead of water. My 6-year old LOVED IT!! The perfect consistancy, stayed on the spoon so less mess for me to clean up! Will make again & again, Thank you!

I loved split pea soup as a kid but had not eaten it in years, largely because my adult palate is no longer satisfied by canned soups. This recipe was perfect! Up until the last hour or so of cooking I was skeptical, because the peas still looked solid in the crockpot, but then the 5 hours were up, and I was thrilled to find the soup had turned into exactly what I remembered loving as a child, only better, because it was homemade! Rave reviews from my friends as well.

Wow! What a great hearty winter soup. I also used chicken broth instead of the bouillon cubes, and accidentally left out the celery. This is so good. Highly recommended.

This was really good. Pretty much stuck to the recipe. Only used 8 cups of liquid (4c chicken broth, 4c water). Used minced garlic, and cubed some ham and left over kielbasa. Thanks.

Very good! I shared this with my neighbor who claims she doesn't like split peas and even she was impressed! Better the second day though for some reason...:)

had some left over ham & substituted for the sausage, I omitted the carrots b/c I'm not a fan. I cooked in the crockpot for 6 hours & still had puree w/a hand blender, turned out fantastic! I used red potatoes & kept the skin on, had enough to freeze to enjoy later during the colder months- this is a keeper!

yummy yummy! Great on those chilly evenings. Very good with cornbread. Must try this one. Except I used ground sausage and browned that then threw it into the soup. I also let the peas get so soft they almost were liquefied. But the 2nd time I made it I didnt let the peas get near soft enough and it wasnt so great then.

This was a perfect meal for the first cold day of fall. Split pea is my DH's favorite soup and he said this was the best he had ever had. I only used 8 cups of water and used ham instead of sausage. I cooked it on low for 10 hours, the peas completely disenegrated, but it was the perfect texture. I used fresh garlic and chicken base instead of the cubes. Can't wait for leftovers at lunch tomorrow. I will be making this again and again.

Yummy!! So easy. I wish I would have added the sausage half way through. By the time it was done cooking they were kind of mushy.

If this would have had one or two more boullion cubes and maybe a little less water (half cup or so) it would have been perfect. It needed just a little more flavor and was a tad on the thin side. I will make this again with these changes.

I need a recipe to get me started on making split pea soup the first time and this was a good choice. I upped the oregano by quite a bit and added additional seasoning to suit my tastes. I've got leftovers in the freezer and will be enjoying this again in a few weeks. When I make it next, I am planning to use a mushroom broth for at least a portion of the liquid to try and get a bit more depth of flavor.

Really great and easy to make! I essentially halved the recipe for my 1 quart crockpot, so I used half a bag of split peas and 3 1/2 cups of water, then eyeballed the veggies and halved the spices. I didn't have garlic powder or smoked sausage, so I just used garlic salt and sweet sausage. I cooked it on high for 3 hours, stirring it a couple of times throughout, then realized it wasn't QUITE as thick as I like it (I like my soups REALLY thick). So I added another handful of peas, then added some pepper and some thyme as an afterthought, and cooked it on low for about an hour and a half. I turned the crockpot off but left the lid on and took a shower, and when I came back, I just stirred the pot a little and got great, creamy soup. :) It's especially good when you eat it as leftovers, as pea soup is wont to be! I think next time I'll try using ham, and I'll be sure to use even less water to get that extra-thick texture I like.

This was delicious! I agree with luv2cook in that it was ten times better later! I froze the leftovers and when I thawed and ate later it was amazing! I did half sausage and half ham cubes, which I think gave it even more flavor.

I would give this recipe four stars the first day, but if you can wait until day two, it is definitely a five star split pea soup recipe!! I seasoned my finished soup with salt and pepper. I will make this again, especially because it doesn’t require a ham bone and I usually have all the ingredients already in my kitchen.
