    I made this soup with jowls instead of sausage & added barley the last 30 minutes of cooking. I had read some reviews saying they would use less stock, but by adding the barley I think it may have compensated because it was perfect.

    I made this in my crock pot and it was so delicious & easy. I used 7 cups of low sodium chicken broth, ham hock instead of sausage, and herbs de provence. I removed the ham
    hock and shredded the ham for just enough extra flavor. By using the crock pot I had the
    whole day to myself, no babysitting!

    This was the first time I ever made split pea soup, I always thought I wasn't a fan of it but my husband always orders it in restaurants. I made it this week and followed Robin's recipe exactly. It was fabulous, absolutely amazing, and totally changed my perception of split pea soup. This one will be going into our regular rotation as it was a big hit at the dinner table and super easy to make with inexpensive ingredients.

    Made this and it was easy. Used Aidells Cajun style andouille, just one link since the flavor is strong. Very good and easy. Added only 7 cups water and 1 cup white wine. Also added two tablespoons Herbs de Provence. Turned out perfect.

    Agree with other poster...there are two types of chorizo, Mexican is more like regular sausage and Spanish is a hard pre-cooked like pepperoni.

    You want to use the Spanish style here. If you do not have access to it, use the andouille or pepperoni.

    This soup is very tasty, I made it as per recipe with cooked chorizo and it was so easy and quick to make.
    It's definately going to be made over and over again in our household.
    Very nice with fresh crusty bread.

    It seems a few reviewers are confused about the chorizo. If you buy raw (sometimes called "Mexican" or "fresh" chorizo, it needs to be removed from its casing(s and browned. I believe the recipe intends for Spanish chorizo to be used. It is fully cooked, and would need only to be chopped and added to the slow cooker as directed. Nice recipe either way.

    It was really delicious!!! I used ham instead of the sausage. Also when I read the reviews many said the soup was too watery so I only used about 8 instead of the 10 cups... I came out perfectly... My family loved it! Thank You!!!!

    This was very easy to make and good. i should have read the below review regarding the chicken stock. I used 10cups way too much. Next time will use at least 6 or 8 cups of chicken stock, and try a ham hock in place of the chorizo.

    I found this to be exceptionally easy to make as long as I pre-plan for slow cooking. But that is the joy of using a slow cooker it does all the work. I ran out of broth, instead used water and the soup was very tasty. I used andouille sausage that gave the flavor a little bit of spice to it. Just need to remember to make this or any other slow cooking while at work. I set it before bedtime and about 2 PM I got a whiff of the soup and it made me hungry. Excellent Soup! Definitely will share this one.

    I really like this recipe with a couple of minor alterations. The recipe calls for 10 cups of chicken broth which is way too much. I made it with 8 cups and still think it was a bit too much. Next time I will start out using 6 and add more as needed. I also added concentrated chicken base in place of salt. I used 1 ham hock in place of the chorizo and it was amazing. The pork was so tender it fell off the bone and was easy to shred.

    Definitely a keeper. Very, very easy and super economical.
