Sounds great, but....I would add a couple of chopped leeks.
Also I cannot believe that any chef or home cook will add the sauteed veggies at the same time as the peas and then boil it.
I find it much better to add the vegetables (sautéed or not AFTER the peas and pork hocks have been 3/4 of the way cooked.
That way there is still some substance to the veggies, which I prefer.
And it is not all turned into baby food.
PS: I do not sautée the veggies. Don't need the added cals of butter or olive oil.

Simple and delicious. I did a rustic chop on my veggies for more texture. I used all chicken stock, no water. I let it simmer for an additional hour...Perfection! I will make this again and again.

Wonderful recipe! Very simple, costs about 10$ of ingredients. I signed up on foodnetwork just to rate this. I simmered 3 hours to meet my taste.

Absolutely delicious. I cooked it quite a bit longer, more like 4 hours, as like the peas softer.i couldn't find a ham hock so I used a sliced ham. It was thick, delicious and very filling. Will definitely make this again. Thank you

Loved this. It was perfect with a handful of flavored croutons added to the top.

This soup had great flavors, but the ingredient list was not that helpful. In particular, this soup would have benefited from more specific guidance on chicken stock to water ratio. Mine came out too salty, and I couldn't dilute it properly without throwing off the aromatics.

This was fantastic. I didn't have any ham hocks, so I used ham shanks I found at my local grocery store. I also had some bacon that needed to be used. So I diced the bacon and cooked till crisp and removed. Then sauteed the onion, celery and carrots in the bacon fat. I added home made chicken stock (which is the best, IMO instead of canned/boxed. Added the shanks and simmered for about 1/2 hour then added the split peas and cooked according to the rest of the recipe. Used some of the bacon bits for garnish. My husband was on cloud nine with this one. If I could rate it higher than a 5, I would!

This was great! The glaze from the ham gave it a slightly sweet taste, which made it even more complex and delicious. I used an immersion blender a little bit to give it a thicker texture.....delicious!!!!

Woo! I have been a pea soup hater since childhood -- but no more! This soup is divine! I cooked according to the recipe, but added about 1 tsp of herb de provence and a pinch of thyme. I also used some leftover shredded carrots and chopped them up - perfection.

I am completely in love with this soup. It tastes hearty, yet light - and honestly doesn't seem like a pea soup. You can chef this up and be the belle of the soup ball!

This was very good. I also added a tablespoon of liquid smoke and it turned out fantastic! Also added just a few black beans for color and used an immersion blender. Delicious and nice green treat for the holidays!
