    This is a really simple, really good recipe. It's especially good when the weather starts getting cold. My bf also enjoyed it very much. I made 1.5x the recipe and added 1/2 tsp curry powder, cooked it on low for 8 hours. My split peas are 90 cal for 1/4 c (35 g) and the 1-lb bag had 13 servings. - 11/8/10

    just a note - the nutritional information might be incorrect. i know that the split peas i have are about 170 calories for just 1/4 cup! - 12/20/07

    The only difference between this and regular split pea soup is the hambone. Good enough. - 7/5/19

    merged recipes. #1: "split the pot "Spark recipe with its rosemary and marjoram and use of homemade broth; #2 carrots, onion &celery, garlic as in this recipe. #3 Bay leaf, & 1 tab white Miso paste: (cooking light) 8 C total broth & 2 C dried peas. .Broth used influences calorie, Homemade more cal. - 1/1/18

    This is my favorite soup! I make it often in cold weather. Since I live alone I freeze small portions for later meals and it's even better! I use chicken broth instead of water and increase the carrots and celery. I don't like cumin, so I eliminate it. - 11/22/17

    yum - 7/2/17

    Tasty, but calories are way off, dried split peas are 170 calories for the 1/4 cup serving that is in one serving of this soup, put this in the recipe calculator and it comes out to 188 calories for 1/8 of the recipe - 1/31/17

    For those who miss the 'ham' taste, add liquid smoke. It's vegan and it definitely makes it taste more traditional. - 1/1/15

    Easy. I thought the seasonings have this standard tasting a bit odd. I like salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Thickness was about right. - 5/25/13

    I subbed thyme for the marjoram; otherwise, made to recipe, used BLIBBITY's suggestion to add curry powder. I divvied it up into 9 one cup containers, for 114 calories. More nutritious than popcorn for a snack! Add hot sauce! Add Splenda for dessert! Hot or cold. - 4/25/13

    tasty, took a lot longer to cook than stated. - 3/22/13

    Very simple and very tasty! We're having it for left overs tonight, too! It's going to be great to have on this snowy, cold night. - 3/18/13

    I've made this twice in 2 days it is so yummy. I cooked it on the stove (bring to boil then simmer around 45 minutes). Substituted crushed red pepper for cayenne last night. Tonight since my 11-month old grandson was eating with us I omitted the pepper and celery (I was out of celery anyway). :-) - 11/27/12

    THis was the best flavoring I have ever had for pea soup. I did use 3/4 of the liquid using chicken stock. YUM! Thanks for sharing. - 11/6/11
