I added a pint of heavy whipping cream at the end and served with corn bread.

It is very tasty but this way of cooking is not great because why do we need cook celery and onion not with another weg.? It is easly tp cook together with carrots ets and onion and celery will not be so mashy. I cooked the peas little bit with salt till partly cooked then I have added everything at once.

Typical pea soup haters, my kids and I all love this recipe. It's great when you have just a handful of carrots, celery, and potatoes leftover.

I was shocked at how much my kids liked this. The kielbasa makes it a family friendly pea soup.
