Split Pea Soup Recipe

My husband has always loved split pea soup, but I never cared for it—until I came across this recipe. The combination of flavors is so tasty that even I have to admit to liking it.—Holly Dow, Presque Isle, Maine

This recipe was very bland. I looked up another recipe from this site and added spices and it was so much better. I will be using the other recipe going forward.
