Delish, inexpensive and lean – everything a great meal should be!
One of my earliest childhood memories is of my mother, standing by the stove, making split pea soup in a huge pot.
Family was coming over to help my father make a new wood shed, and Mom wanted to make a hearty meal for the whole bunch. Back then money was often an issue (or the lack of it), so she certainly couldn’t serve fancy steaks for ten people. However, my mother had a way of turning the most modest, inexpensive ingredients into such delicious meals that everyone was always happy to dine with us.
This recipe very much reminds me of mother’s; the way she used a ham bone to bring that juicy flavor into the soup. All the ingredients were pretty inexpensive then, and that’s what they are now, too. But I guarantee you’ll have the tastiest soup you’ve ever tried in your whole life.
If you want something extra, you can add some cream into this soup, but it certainly isn’t necessary. My father would always mix a spoonful of spicy mustard into his portion, and I wanted to sprinkle some grated cheese on top. Whatever you want to serve this with, it’s going to be amazing!

Some things you just have to copy paste or go old fashioned and write it down I’m afraid.

would love the recipe also.
I made this tonight. The recipe calls for too much water. Make it 1 1/2 quarts instead of 2 1/2 qts. —–OR double the peas!

The picture appears that potatoes are also included, but I don’t see them in the ingredients list. Does this soup include potatoes, and are they added at the same time as the carrots and (optional) celery, or do they go in either before or after?
You may add any type of vegetables that you want to this soup.
I always add potatoes to my pea soup. Wondering though, why just soak the peas, then discard the water and start again. I have always just cooked them for several hours until done. Also, I use a hand blender to thoroughly mash the peas so there are no solid looking ones. People love it.
I grew up eating Split Pea Soup. My grandmother made it all the time. Just a few differences, no Thyme, no potatoes. Carrots,onions, Accent, salt, pepper, ham bone or ham seasoning. A ham bone is the best. Use the amount of water suggested on the packet, remember you can always add more water during the cooking process. After the soup is cooked a put a dollop of Olive oil, stir, let sit until ready to serve. We also served it over pasta, which is optional (not spaghetti, but a small elbow.
What have you got against putting the name off the recipes with the recipes? The last dozen or so recipes I’ve looked at on this site have not had a name.
Have you ever heard the song, “A Horse With No Name”? It’s kinda like that…a mystery. Good day to you, Philip 🙂
