For a different spin on traditional split pea soup, try this recipe. The flavor is peppery rather than smoky, and the corned beef is an unexpected, tasty change of pace. -Barbara Link, Alta Loma, California

My family loves this soup!! I thought I didn't care for Split Pea soup, until I had this. It is so good. @ekatiakarpova - The directions have you boil INITIALLY and then SIMMER for over a hour. I don't think the spices lose ANY flavor during cooking....it was very flavorful. I always double this as my family gobbles it up. It is a keeper and in the winter rotation. Thanks.

Wow, very tasty, I wished I put less pepper then the recipe calls because it was too much black pepper. When you boil long time something better to put flavory spices before the end then you will able to save spices from loosing flavor during long time boiling like this recipe calls to boil over 1 hour.

This is one of my favorite soup recipes. The flavor is awesome. I also like to throw a ham bone in there too for added flavor. If you think you don't like pea soup, you should try this recipe. Can't imagine anyone not liking it. Nothing like a bowl of this soup on a cold winter day!

It was awesome. My son drop by for unexpected visit and he loved it as well. Is the nutritional info correct? Says no fiber in this recipe.
