We liked this soup a lot. Thanks for sharing it! I used the ingredients listed here but the method shown in the video on this page. For example, "sweating" the carrots, celery and onions to soften them up a bit, then adding the dried split peas and other ingredients directly into that pot. I also substituted chicken stock for water to get more flavor. The split peas really don't need to simmer for two hours .... 35-45 minutes is more than enough time.

I only cooked the peas for 30 minutes, then added the next eight for another 30 minutes.

Next time I make this, I'll use half the carrots, celery, and onion. The recipe as is tasted more like vegetable soup than split pea.
