This is better than any pea and ham soup you could ever make. If you by a bag of bacon bits(good economical buying), good and chunky, you may need to make the pieces a little smaller but don't make the pieces too small.

I don't actually live 'down under' and am wondering what a "packet of soup mix" is? Can you tell me? - 21 May 2012

Really delicious! I used normal bacon and added smoked hocks for flavour. Perfect for winter, my whole family devoured it! Thank you. - 18 Jun 2014
