Simple, but excellent. I used the leftover ham bone from our christmas dinner. Make sure you cook the soup over low heat and keep an eye on it, stirring occasionally. It can stick to the bottom and burn.

This was so good! Make sure to check it often, I needed to add more liquid less than an hour into cooking. The soup was also done in less than 2 hours. It was delicious!

Absolutely delicious. Husband and I ate this wonderful thick, hearty soup like you wouldn't believe. I was really impressed with the flavor. Serve it up with warm, crusty sourdough and you have a meal!

Great flavor and easy to make. I added 1/2 tsp minced garlic, a packet of chicken broth seasoning and thyme to taste. It turned out wonderful and I'll be making this one again!

By far the best pea soup recipe I've ever tried. The addition of carrot, garlic, bay leaves, and thyme improved an already wonderful soup. I also used half chicken broth and half water. And it doesn't stink up the house! Thank you Sue!

Such an easy recipe to follow. My hubby and I love split pea and ham soup and this recipe doesn't require a lot of time or ingredients. I agree with Gramma about the salt. Wait till the end of cooking time and do a taste test. Don't forget the freshly ground black pepper. Thanks Sue.

I added two ribs of celery and one large carrot sliced thin, a bay leaf, a dash of hot pepper sauce,and a pinch of fines herbes.Good idea to wait on adding any salt until you taste at the end because some ham imparts enough salt. Good soup! We like it with cornbread or any crusty bread.

A great basic recipe for getting rid of the hambone. Added 1c diced carrot half way through cooking for variety. As always, this is more delicious the next day after an overnight in the fridge; ready for after sking enjoyment.

Very thick, rich and delicious! My wife who doesn't like split pea soup, loved this. It is a regular now during the cold winter months. For those who like it not so thick, just add a little water or fat free milk!

Very good soup! In place of 2/3 of the water, I used chicken broth. I also added diced carrots, a little crushed garlic and diced smoke-flavored SPAM. I didn't need to add any salt. The taste is wonderful. I do recommend stirring occasionally, especially towards the end, to avoid allowing the peas to form a thick paste at the bottom of the pan. I also didn't find I needed to simmer for 2 hours. After only about an hour, the peas were all cooked down, and it was ready to eat.
