    I have made this quite a few times over the years. I use 10 c. broth/water, and add rosemary to the soup on the simmer portion. It is quite delicious and a good budget friendly dinner. I make challah bread to serve with it. Delicious with or w/out the ham addition mentioned by other reviewers.

    This is by far the best split pea soup I've ever had!...it's my go-to soup recipe and have made it countless times. I follow the recipe except I always add ALL the peas at once so they can cook down to a creamier consistency (NO blending needed. I let the soup simmer (lowest heat possible for several hours to break the peas and onions down and allow the flavors to blend. I usually had a few extra potatoes and carrots....they are so delicious and add a nice robustness to the soup. I LOVE Imagine Foods NO Chicken Broth (it's a vegetable broth with a super yummy flavor. ONCE I made the soup with a different brand of vegetable broth and I didn't like it (and spent so much time adding seasoning to compensate for the flavor the soup was ruined. HIGHLY recommend this brand of vegetable broth. Makes a BIG pot.... GREAT recipe!

    I didn't have any chicken stock in the house, so I used chicken broth. I also don't personally like salt, so I omitted that, as well as the carrots and potatoes (I grew up in a pea-only split pea soup home. Even without the carrots and potatoes, the soup was filling and delicious. It was relatively thick and creamy--making it the perfect dinner. This sounds out not as a side, but as the main course. I especially enjoyed the flavor of the sauteed garlic and onions in the soup.

    I followed the recipe to a T -with the exception of adding all peas at once per other reviews. I agree with the last review that it seemed to be missing something. It was alright and I liked the thick hearty consistency but something was definitely lacking in flavor. I probably wouldn't make again, my first disappointing Ina recipe!

    I did the same with Pollykrip and didn't use the potatoes and used half broth and half water. Still it was way too thick and had to use an extra 2 cups of broth to thin out during the cooking process AND extra liquid to the final product. Flavor was good, but thought there was something missing.

    I did not use potatoes and it was great. Used broth instead of water.

    Per suggestions of others I put in all the peas at once and after boil, simmered all for 80 minutes. I also added in a TBSP of Penzey's Ham Soup Base = DELICIOUS!

    This soup had good flavor but was very thick. So thick everyone had to add water to their bowls. It came out like paste.

    I've made this twice and both times it wasn't up to par. I thought I'd done something wrong the first time, so a month later I made it a second time and as I said, it was unsatisfactory. I don't recommend.

    Delicious! I prefer a thicker soup so used a cup less chicken stock. I also added pancetta with the onions and substituted sweet potatoes instead of carrots (due to allergies and only a few red potatoes and it was perfect! When you simmer, make sure you're still on medium heat and there is a slight boil! (I've confused simmering with low heat and the soup does not cook fully.... one of my favs!
