I’ve been making this one for years! Occasionally will try a new recipe but always come back to this one as the best way to use the remains of the Christmas ham. I’m not one to waste much so I either take out all the veggies and purée them and add back to the soup or use my immersion blender on the whole soup (removing only the bay leaves)except the bay leaves. I usually make a double batch of this one as it goes fast in our house!! Thanks for putting it on a site for all to share.

Thank you!We gave the library cartons of cookbooks, and among them was my James Beard soup and bread. None of the other recipies I looked at were like the one I used. Your site came up when I added James Beard to the search term.I’ll be coming back to your site, and my pea soup is cooking;)

I have always hated split pea soup, but haven’t had it in years – I will have to give it a shot again with this recipe. And a good hearty ham hock.

Just started following your blog recently; I especially love all the recipes you’ve been posting. I’ve never had pea soup before, but this looks delicious! Marking it down as a recipe to try.
