    My first time making pea soup and it was great! Flavorful and delicious. Next time I would use less ham, 1/2 pound instead.

    I came home from a vacation and had a spiral ham that had not been eaten,and I was looking for a receipe to use up my leftovers. WOW this did the trick. I always read the reviews and took their suggestions, I used the 3cups of liquid from simmering the ham hock and the remaining liquid I used chicken broth. I gave samples to my neighbor and a friend. My friend told me she and her husband fought over the last of the dish I brought them. My neighbor wanted the recipe says it was much better than any he had ever made. Thanks Emeril. Keep creating and we'll keep enjoying.

    I enjoy split pea soup but hadn't ever made it at home. This recipe gave me new expectation for what split pea should be! It had wonderful flavor and great consistency. - I made it as an after thought, just using what I had on hand - I did the quick method on the pea package, used ham stock and left over ham slices (omitting the water and ham hock - I doubled the veggies based on other reviews, added a few other spices and enjoyed every bite!

    I admit- I love split pea soup- but this recipe really takes delicious to the next level! The soup is literally bursting with flavor! I made a couple of tiny modifications to tell you about- I used twice as many vegetables- because I love them. I used a pre-smoked ham hock so I didnt have to boil a raw one- I used all chicken stock (instead of plain water and added an extra teaspoon of red pepper flakes! I would ONLY recommend that last modification if you LOVE SPICY like I do- otherwise it will be too hot... Anyway- this recipe is definitely a keeper! Enjoy!

    this recipe is a keeper! A couple of things I did differently: soaked the peas overnight; didn't add the hamhock; split the water with 1/2 chicken broth and ; used salted butter.

    I have never made split pea soup before and the recipes I have eaten in the past have all been kind of bland. But this was really good! I used the stock from boiling the ham hock instead of plain water and I actually added two chicken boullion cubes to the stock to give it more flavor. I added a cup of chopped potatoes, which I will add more of next time, used rainbow peppercorns along with the black pepper and more red pepper than it called for. I also added more of the carrots, celery and onions. It turned out to be a really hearty soup and was even better on the second day after it had been in the fridge all night. Very easy to make and my family loves it!!

    Very very good and easy. I am glad I read the reviews first and used 1 tsp. dried thyme instead of what the recipe called for. Definately make this soup it is worth it.

    I followed the recipe exactly as stated except for the following. I added 4 cups of vegetable broth and 4 cups of water (I used the water that I boiled the ham bone in Next time I make this I will use a cup of carrots and celery instead of the 1/2 cup as stated in the recipe. I also added 1 cup of chopped potatoes.
    My family just loved this. Will probably double the recipe next time. I only soaked the peas for 4 hours and I let the soup simmer for about 3 hours and everything came out perfect. Will definately make this again.

    I made this recipe exact which is something I never do. I doubled it and made a huge pot. I was hoping to put some in the freezer but my husband and our four kids devoured it over a couple of days. I hope I don't lose the recipe because I definitely want to make it again.

    My first split pea soup ever and my family could not stop talking about how delicious it was!
    My Father In Law (who is a split pea soup expert told me to patent it and sell it!!
    I was delighted with the outcome...and it was very easy to make (I am NOT a cook.
    I boiled my ham bone in the 8 cups of water for an hour and used that water (instead of plain water - if your ham is not salty (mine was not this is a good option.
    I also used the crock pot so after I browned all the veggies, I added them to the crock pot with the ham water, rest of ingredients and cooked on high for 2 hours before turning to low until peas/soup was at desired consistency.
    My peas did not require soaking so I poured them right into the crock pot.
    You will love this recipe!!
