Mmmmm... best ever indeed. It came out yummy. I did not puree the soup at the end because I liked the chunkiness. Also, it looked ready after only an hour, and the peas were all soft, so I took it off the heat. Recommended! - 29 Sep 2008
Altered ingredient amounts. This soup was wonderful. I had never had split pea soup that did not call for ham so I was concerned that it would not have enough flavour. I was quite surprised. I just put all the ingredients in a crockpot except for the oil and the salt free seasoning blend (I didn't have any). I only used green peas and I doubled the recipe except for the water. I used 12 cups of water instead of 16. I also used Wyler's Shakers stock that is chicken garlic and herb flavour. Then I slow-cooked it for 6 hours. It came out great. - 29 Sep 2008
Altered ingredient amounts. This was easy and good, and just the right thickness. I used all green split peas, and didn't have any salt-free seasoning (such as Mrs. Dash) on hand, so I just used about 2 t. curry powder and 1/4 t. black pepper for seasoning. I like a little texture in my pea soup, so I only pureed about 3 c. of the soup in the blender, then added it back to the pot. Thanks for the recipe. - 29 Sep 2008
