    Awesome. Tasty, nutritious, hearty, and even easy. Just wish I knew by looking at the recipe, how big each of the 8 servings is... 1 cup? 1/2 cup? 2 cups? Will measure before serving next time. And there will definitely be many next times! - 11/1/09

    Made this recipe yesterday and ate it for lunch today. Delicious! I substituted the onions for onion powder. I also added an extra bag of peas and water since I like a thick pea soup. Cooked 10 hours and then let it sit overnight. I add a little water when serving if too thick. - 12/19/11

    This was delicious! I did not use just water since I had exactly that amount of liquids left from baking our ham (after chilling and removing the fat). It was delicious! - 12/18/11
