This was a very good recipe. I gave it only 4 stars for a couple of reasons. First, the amount of broth needed to be almost tripled to make it soup consistency. Also, the puree of sausage and broth was rather gross looking. We also found that if we put the soup in the food processor after it was all done, that we liked it better. It is a low fat - low calorie split pea soup which is a good alternative to those soups with cream or potato added. We will make this again with the changes noted.

Good simple easy to prepare food.

I was a little impatient with this recipe. It took quite a while for the peas to cook. It tasted really good though and smelled even better. It's just not my favorite. I didn't puree the sausage or anything. It did taste good though.

This recipe was fantastic. My kids even liked it. I use low sodium broth. I never add salt to this recipe. The sausage and chicken broth is already plenty salty. If I use regular broth then it because to salty.

A lot of good flavor considering how simple this recipe is. I used yellow split peas and a 32 ounce box of chicken broth, but otherwise followed the recipe. I found I did not need to add salt. I recommend no extra salt until the soup is cooked and you can taste for seasoning.

Excellent. I would add more stock next time.

This is the first time I've tried Split Pea Soup. I didn't have any beef broth so I made it with chicken broth. It still came out great. I enjoyed it and will make it again.

Delicious and very flavorful. Nice change from the ordinary split pea soup.

I love this stuff...am making it for my Halloween party...it's perfect for that o9r anytime...if you like split pea or even classic "soup beans" with the navy beans you'll luv this stuff...great recipe

I've never tried split pea soup before. I've actually been afraid to try it until now. This recipe was SOOOO GOOD!! Even my kids liked it. Great recipe

This turned out really good. I did not make the puree, and I ended up having to add more liquid to this at the end. But that is probably because my bag of split peas was 16 oz. And I added a dash of garlic to it. Really good, and we will make this again.

YUMMY! I used 3 cans of chicken broth and I also added celery!! I'll never use ham again!!! The kielbasa gave it a wonderful flavor. thankyou!!

This soup had great flavor, but (I don't know what I did wrong...) I could not get a good consistency. I followed the recipe as directed and got the last instruction that said "simmer until peas are soft but NOT mushy." I had never made split pea soup before, so I did not expect that it would take 2 HOURS for the peas to get soft. The liquid kept evaporating so I added more water periodically (make sure you cover with a lid), but I was never quite sure what the "soft but not mushy" consistency was supposed to be. When I have eaten split pea soup before it was very smooth, but was this supposed to be a little chunky? I cooked until I thought the peas were done but was very frustrated by the unexpected length of time it took (we ate a late dinner last night). The taste was enjoyable and we liked the kielbasa sausage flavor, but we did not like the consistency of the soup. Perhaps I did something wrong, but I wanted to write this in case anyone else comes across this problem.

I used hot Italian sausage instead of the Kielbasa. Delicious!

I personally don't like split pea soup but I made this for my husband who does. He loved it! Almost convinced me to try it! Thanks for the recipe, I'll definitely be making it again. Oh, and I used chicken broth instead of beef and left out the carrots.

I used chicken broth instead of beef and added 2 stalks of chopped celery with the carrot. Also pureed about a half cup of frozen spinach with the sausage and broth. Added a few dashes of crushed red pepper to add a little spice. Really good. The sausage (I used turkey sausage) added a nice flavor, I liked it better than the normal ham flavor. Will try adding some potato next time.

Good standard split pea recipe. I did half split peas and half lentils. TFS.
