Homemade pea soup started from a large ham bone is heaven!!
by singwell-is off researching a lot on March 31st, 2008
Yes. I like it.
by Jenniferocious on March 27th, 2008
Yes, and yes. But I prefer it without the ham chunks.
But - since my fiance doesn't like it, I don't make it at home.
by Babycakes on March 27th, 2008
I hate peas but I will eat my delicious split pea soup. I let the peas sit in a pan of water for a couple of hours then put a ham bone with lots of meat left on it and my husband likes it when I grate carrots in it but I hate carrots.

Being Belgian I think I've got this soup running through my veins. I love it and make a really good one. ANd I always make croutons to go in it, jut like my mom taught me:-)
I also now make a pea soup with an ethnic twist. It has cumin and other strange spices in it and rice is added near the end. It is wonderful!!! I actually prefer it to the regular Pea Soup I grew up with.

I LOVEEE split pea soup!
by Wickels on March 27th, 2008
No, I do not get down on split pea soup.
by American idle on September 22nd, 2007
Never tried it. But I'm not a big pea fan..
by Cognition aka Cog on November 12th, 2009
I love it made from scratch with a ham bone. I like it really thick and I put buttered croutons in it.

I absolutely LOVE Split Pea soup ... especially with ham or bacon. ;-)
by Ms sexpot Love Games on October 8th, 2008
Yes and you really have to know how to cook it.
by ENigma on September 25th, 2008
I totally love split pea soup and bread and butter. I can have it for dinner seven days a week and still crave for more.
by elderwanda on September 24th, 2008
Mmmmm split pea soup is one of my favorite things in the world! That with a nice, fresh loaf of home baked French bread.
Oh, I wish I had some right now!
People who won't try it because they don't like how it looks (or expect it to taste like fresh/frozen peas) don't know what they're missing. You've got to put ham hocks in it, though. That's very important.

tried it, don't like it
by karen on September 21st, 2008
I LOVE split pea soup and have it once a week in Winter. i put a smoked ham hock in while it is cooking in the slow cooker. I shred the meat off the hock and add it to the soup. I also add some franfurters (must be very good quality). I put a tablespoon of vinegar on the soup when serving; it breaks up the thickness and adds a nice flavour. I think that I will have split pea soup tonight; I have some in the freezer.
by Tacet on July 14th, 2008
Yep, it's good.
by BigDaddyBS on July 13th, 2008
Sure... I've never had homemade, but I like Campbells' Split Pea and Ham soup.
by Firebrand on July 12th, 2008
Yes home made Pea soup is very tasy.
by R_Berue on July 5th, 2008
When it's made right AND it tastes terrific, I LOVE split pea soup.
If you're thinking about canned pea soup, forget it.
THE BEST pea soup I ever had was made with the assistance of my daughter. We had a terrific time, soaking the peas overnight -
s-l-o-w-l-y cooking the peas with those delicious ham hocks and pieces of Virginia ham.
THE MESSIEST part: passing the not-quite-finished soup through the food mill (Sorry folks, this was WAY before food processors and those hand-held "mixing wands").
The finished soup was magnificent!
Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

I really like split pea soup. My husband knows autumn has officially arrived whenever I make that first pot for the year.
by Tallyman on May 7th, 2008
Yes, I like it.
If you were in England in medeval times you probably would've eaten a lot of peas. It was one of the main foods back then.
by GiraffeyedDonor-ish on May 7th, 2008
I have...I've tried it quite a few times, and I've never been a fan. The consistency and taste isn't my favorite.
by Anonymous on April 18th, 2008
There's a component in peas that prevents pregnacy! But I love pea soup with lots of ham or sausage in it! And the garlic croutons floating on top is nice!
by Ec-nal Licensed Bootie Inspector on March 31st, 2008
Hellyeah....
by Anonomous on March 31st, 2008
I love it! I made some Saterday.
by Nuttsky on March 31st, 2008
Yes, but only if made with the broth from a very good hambone, onion, celery, carrot, and sage.
That same broth is even better, made into potato soup instead of pea soup, and the potato soup doesn't - how shall I say - inflate the intestine.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on March 31st, 2008
Yes and it's been far too long since I had a good bowl of it.
by needtoknow on March 31st, 2008
My husband makes the best pea soup our whole family ever had...He doesn't make it enough.
by Nninee on March 27th, 2008
Yes, but I can't eat a big bowl of it. I like putting cheez-its in it.
by AntigoneRising on March 27th, 2008
The only time I like it is when I'm spitting it at a priest who is performing an exorcism. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen often...
Ok, ok...to seriously answer your question, I've never been able to bring myself to even try it. It looks and smells awful.
by OmarFW on March 27th, 2008
Eeeew, no my mom force fed me that stuff ugh.
by call me Kat on March 27th, 2008
Split pea soup with ham or ham hocks and chopped onion and carrot. I make a pot of it the week after Easter, or whenever I've baked a ham, to use up the ham on the bone, since the rest of it is either all gone or has been sliced up for sandwiches.
by Debris - the new slimline version. on September 24th, 2007
my gran used to make it for me when I was little and I remember it being really vile. I have not had it in many years so I may like it if I tried it now.
by loveschimps on September 22nd, 2007
I made it once, mine turned out terrible. I will never make it again.
by VOD on November 22nd, 2008
mom made some just the other day. YUM!!!!
by miissd on November 22nd, 2008
ooooh yuuuum! It is so good! =)
by redcatt63 is around here somewhere...... on October 8th, 2008
I've had, I like it, and I've even made it from scratch a few times.
by - M.C.S. - Dave on July 13th, 2008
I don't re-call it. I may had eaten in back in my childhood tho & just forgotten all about it. Guess I'll have to try it out now!!!!!........+5
by Carrot and Stick on July 12th, 2008
I think split pea soup is disgusting. Had it before, never again.
by bagicide stayed 10 months too long on July 12th, 2008
Love it. Really doesn't matter what recipe I use, its always good. Whether its ham or bacon or sausage, plain peas or full of carrots and potatoes, seasoned with bay or marjoram or onions, its all good.
Pease Porridge Hot, pease porridge cold, pease porridge in the pot nine days old.
I like it hot, I like it cold, I like it in the pot nine days old.
by birch117 on March 27th, 2008
No I have never had it. I don't like peas so pea soup doesn't sound too appetizing.
by tabithap5 on March 27th, 2008
Yes I have tried split pea soup, but I am not a fan of it.
by betty on September 21st, 2007
I don't liked it, not tasty
by SarahK on September 21st, 2007
No, I've never had it. I was repulsed by the texture, appearance, and scent. I like lentil soup, though. Go figure!
by Lazs Mouse on September 19th, 2009
Have, and do!
by Thriftymaid on September 19th, 2009
Yes. It's OK in a pinch.
by Thriftymaid on November 12th, 2009
It's OK in a pinch.
by Neptune66 on November 22nd, 2008
Yes, with mint. It was delicious.
by Ms.A on November 8th, 2009
I don't like it,but it is great for patching drywall.
