The house seasoning recipe is for multiple uses. You do not use it all in the split pea soup. You just use a little bit of it, enough for your tastes.

I'm rating as good since I had to leave a rating in order to post. I haven't tried as yet but, I love to make split pea soup and will try this one ASAP. In the meantime just wanted to say to those of you who used the whole amount of the house seasoning if you don't cook it is easy to make this mistake. Recipe should have been worded i.e., "use tsp, house seasoning" I figured lisartist used all when said it was way too salty. You have to use your better judgement at times and think that a a cup of salt is way to much. You can always ADD but you CAN'T TAKE OUT!!
