I’ve been wanting to make a split pea soup for a long time…so I finally did! And…there is nothing better than your husband turning to you and telling you the split pea soup you just made is incredible. That’s what happened after the first time I made this soup. It’s easy to make, smooth, rich and filling and uses minimal ingredients. The peas are high in iron, protein and fibre. Add a few crumbled homemade crackers and it’s a delicious meal! This recipe has been such a hit in our house that we make it over and over again. Especially on those cold wintery days, this pea soup definitely does the job at warming us up and filling us with awesome nutrition!
