Making soup is so easy! You just chop every thing up, throw it all in the pot and let it simmer. This recipe does however require a little bit of time as you have to leave it on the stove for an hour and a half. I had the day off so I spent the morning in the kitchen preparing a few things for the week so I would not have to cook every night. I assembled this first and by the time I was done everything else the soup was done. When we ate it the next day I actually had to add in some more water as it was pretty thick. I also added a touch of salt and pepper to taste.
SERVED WITH: A piece of whole wheat toast. It makes a great meal on a chilly fall day.
COOKING TIPS: This was the very first time I had used split peas and I didn't understand why the recipe said to wash and sort the split peas first. So I looked it up on google and found out that the purpose of sorting the peas is to make sure no random stones or chunks of dirt have made it into the bag and inadvertently into your soup.
RATING: 7. It is definitely better then the canned versions I am used to and now that I know it is so easy to make I doubt I will go back.
