This recipe is a wonderful starter. Split peas do really well in chicken stock, and unsalted is the best. You can always adjust. What was great, was this recipe gave me confidence to go on with what I was doing, which was chicken stock, peas, and the left-overs in my fridge veg container: celery, carrot, green onion, red onion, shallot, parsley. I started that, found the recipe and felt ok,since broth/peas quantities were correct. Then I added smashed, peeled garlic and bay leaf. It worked out great! Don't be afraid to add whatever makes sense to your soup, cook, and then it all dissolves with the immersion blender. The more flavor, the better! But I don't care, after many trials, for ham or hocks in my pea soup. It's better with just chicken stock!

This was the best tasting, simple to make pea soup ever. I usually make pea soup with celery, potatoes and carrots. However, I was looking for a recipe without carrots and celery since I didn't have any. This version tasted much better than the soups I have made in the past. I also made it with smoked turkey wing and slow cooked it.

This couldnt have been easier and was absolutely perfect. I wanted a version without ham because I'm just not nuts about it, but was a little nervous that there would be a significant flavor loss without the meat. NOT the case. I used cayenne and red pepper flakes and the kick was what really put the soup over the top. The stock is really important in this, though, so be sure to pick a good one! Skipped the milk because I thought it was excellent without. Excellent for warming up on chilly winter night!

I love this split pea soup recipe. I've followed the recipe exactly and it is wonderful!

Other times, I've made some changes (added celery, carrots, or celery root; added frozen spinach at the end, skipped the milk altogether or used cream, skipped the garlic based on the ingredients I had on hand or dietary needs of guests. But, it doesn't matter, the soup is always a hit.

Personally, I prefer the straight up recipe - but it's nice to have a recipe that can take some changes well.

This is a great recipe. I added carrots so there would be more vitamins. Once you blend it up you never know the carrots are there.

I love pea soup and this recipe is delicious and easy! I replace the milk with half and half if I have it and add a dollop of sour cream as well as some ham. I've made this many times and plan to make a big pot tomorrow with the outside temps in the teens!! The red pepper flakes really give it some zing!

Loved it! Add carrots and celery in with the onions. Also added ham chunks when simmering, and after blending for a chunkier soup. This was the first time I have ever made a split pea soup, and it is a taste memory from my husbands childhood. Direct quote " I think this is the best split pea soup I have ever had, seriously." Red pepper flakes all the way!
