Very tasty soup!!! Loved the texture, smoky flavor, leeks are wonderful too! My husband doesn't like texture in anything so I pureed his. You loose something by blending it all up. Loved everything but the soggy bacon in the finished soup. Next time I will cook bacon and set it aside to crumble over top.

I have made this recipe several times. It is easy and delicious. You don't have to follow the recipe exactly to get a good result. It is very forgiving! I usually double it so I can freeze some. I always put on the rosemary, but it does not seem to add much flavor that I can tell. I like the bacon. It sure beats a ham bone!

This is wounderful soup, espicially the next day!!! Didn't have any leeks so just used more onions. I like bacon so I used an extra slice, the only other thing is that it could use salt and pepper while cooking.

This is the perfect split pea soup! And - it is extremely easy to make! I added some small chunks of ham toward the end of cooking - no need to cook with the shank bone for days...the flavor in this soup is amazing as is!

This recipe is a keeper! It is simple and delicious. I omitted the bacon. Will try it in the crock pot next time.

The only thing I added was chopped celery and red pepper and I didn't use the leek. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly and my husband and I thought it was delicious. I will definitely make this again.

This soup is really good. However the recipe only calls for 10 oz of broth, and it takes WAY more. Start with that much, then just keep adding broth until the peas start to break down and it is the consistency you want.
