I used a part tip from 2/28/06 review and simmered the bone overnight in crockpot, refrigerated and defatted. To the 16 cups of ham base, followed recipe adding two bay leaves and another pound of peas...delicious.

We love this soup! I triple the ingredients to ensure there is enough for a day or 2 of leftovers.

Awesome ... ! I gave this a 4 Star rather than a 5 because it was a great base soup and I tweaked it for more flavour (so 1 star belongs to me) LOL I filled a large stock pot with water and put in my ham bone. I cut up lots of ham in order to get rid of it (probably 1/8 of a shank of ham. I made the recipe pretty much as it was written except I doubled the celery & carrots due to the large pot I was making. I added a waxed carton of chicken broth, an envelope of vegetable Oxo granules, a bay leaf, some Season All seasoning and some (1/4 tsp) of crushed garlic (the jar kind). I used 1 small bag of whole yellow peas and 1/2 small bag of split yellow peas which I forgot to presoak but it turned out okay and about 1/4 cup of barley. It is sooooo good! We're eating this as a late lunch and will have it for dinner along with some nice, fresh Italian bread. Another keeper recipe. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Very good base recipe. I personally cook my leftover hambone (with meat attached) in a crock pot (with water to cover) on low overnight. I then pour this broth (through a fine mesh strainer) into a large bowl or pot, refrigerate until cold & then skim any hardened fat off the top. After the ham bone cools, I remove all useable meat. I simmer the rinsed/cleaned split peas in the defatted ham broth. I add a few chopped red potatoes, a bay leaf or two and a few dashes of liquid smoke. I don't add carrots or reserved ham until the last hour or two of simmering to prevent mushy carrots or stringy ham. I like to add fresh rosemary during the initial cooking process. Of course you can add or detract whatever spices/herbs and I added a tsp of McCormicks Carribean Jerk Seasoning to bring about some more spice/earthiness to this soup. I also added a can of evap milk at the end for super richness. Great recipe you can alter to your own tastes! A splash of lemon or lime juice added right before serving gives the soup a kick as well.

This is an excellent recipe. Our local ham shop that sells hams of a honeybaked variety will sell you a ham bone for about $5 USD if you don't want ham to accompany this soup. It still has a lot of meat on the bone as well.

I added about 2 cups of cubed potatoes to this recipe. I put them in the pot about 30 minutes before it was completely done. They were cooked just right and were an excellent addition to the recipe. I also added a bit of salt and extra freshly-ground black pepper. I will certainly make this soup again!

I put my ham bone in my 7 quart crock pot right after supper and simmered it over night. I added everything else in the morning except the peas and also added some basil oregano and thyme as well as some chopped celery then added the peas after lunch. We went out for our boxing day shopping and had a great soup for supper that tasted just like my moms. Thanks for a great recipe.

It wasn't bad, but I found it kind of bland. I added about a half a cup of dry white wine at the end which seemed to improve the flavor.

I like my soup a little thicker, so I added an extra half bag of peas, and also added 2 diced potatoes 15 min after the carrots. Reduce the pepper to one teaspoon and this is still quite peppery. Great recipe!

Simmering overnight makes for a rich stock but don't forget to simmer with chopped onion, carrots and celery, discarding them upon straining the stock. Next time I plan to use about half the amount of pepper - it was a bit too spicy. Also because I like my soup thick I used 2 lbs of split peas instead of 1 lb.

This was by far the best split pea soup I've ever made! I followed the recipe to the letter, which I never do, and I wouldn't change a thing!

I found this recipe to be very good, although I would recommend an adult to supervise any children when making this soup, you need to make sure they do not get close to the boiling pot. Overall taste was very good. Appearance was appealing and mouth watering.
