didn't have an immersion blender and was too lazy to put it in stand blender so just ferociously used a potato masher. more textured than w/ a blender but still delicious and totally worth making.

also v. economical. i think i spent $3 on the stock and 1.50 on the peas and its enough that my mom and i will prolly be eating this for 3-4 days

Do you have to puree the peas or is that just optional and when you do add other veggies do you puree those as well??

Usually when I try to cook something new, such as split pea soup for example, I like to find a few recipes online, see what I have on hand and what reviews say and set out on my own adventure! This seemed like the perfect base and I was right!! Used about 1 1/4 C green split peas (all I had but added a small peeled, diced butternut squash & large fresh jalepeno. Think I had a little less than a full T of curry powder left at the time. Subbed coconut oil with the sweating garlic & onions. And cooked up 3 slices of all-natural bacon chopped in a pan on the side and stirred it in to simmer. It was so delicious! Such a keeper; my husband went back for seconds and that is definitely a first for pea soup!!

Are you a family that is not 'Pea Soup' friendly? Mine used to be until I tried this recipe. Finally, I don't have to eat alone anymore. Thank you Alton!

So simple, and Oh so good! The seasonings were just right. My kids didn't just tolerate it; they liked it and want me to make it again!

Too much garlic, in my opinion. The curry is on the light side, so folks shouldn't be afraid of it. Depending on the age of the peas, you might want to soak them for a bit. The ones I had, although purchased freshly, were still a little crunchy after an hour's simmer. I usually make my pea soup with marjoram, thyme, bay leaf, and carrots and I think I'll go back to that. More earthy. More pea-y.

I made this recipe exactly to recipe and we absolutely LOVED it. I didn't think it was going to be enough for every one but it actually went a long way because it is very filling. Served it with sour dough bread (live close to san fran so it is a must and it was a huge hit. Highly recommend!!!

I can't believe such a simple recipe could produce such a rich, delicious flavor.

Added a peeled and cored apple to it. Cooked the apple with the peas and a little more curry. My husband who is not fond of peas liked it. I ate it everyday, some times twice a day until it was gone. Time for a new batch. ..Yum!
