Anyone else like split pea soup?

Yep love it we had some out of the freezer for our evening meal last night.

Do you make your own @PamfromTx I do , I boil a full chicken with a small ham hock or cut a big one in half , I leave it over night for any fat to set (after straining removing meat) cook next day adding split peas / carrots add a little of cooked chicken / ham
nothing else needed.
I always add a spoon of vinegar to my bowl of soup .

I use the cooked chicken for making a mild curry or chicken leek pies, so I can get about 5 meals each from one large chicken that costs $6 from Aldi with the added extras like peas / veggies

Most days we have either split pea or lentil soup for our lunch. The way I make it isn't how most people would think of it. It's a vegan version and it's very thick like porridge. It also has all sorts of additions that evolved depending on what was in the frig. One notable version was absolutely delicious, with black rice and porcini mushrooms.

Yes, I have made this soup ( a few times only because hubby dislikes it ). Then I freeze the rest. But, being that the weather is sizzling hot... I have not made any as of late. It is an easy soup to prepare.
 
I love pea soup and make it after Easter because I have a ham bone from our holiday dinner. Other times I buy a slice of ham and cube it, I like it chunky with carrots and potatoes or silky smooth.
Today our temp outside was 100 degrees with 98 % humidity. Not a good day to be making or eating soup.

Fun Fact:
In Canada Split Pea Soup is often referred to as 'French Canadian Pea Soup'. Not sure why?
I find it a great cold weather comfort food.

I keep wishing that Habitant would make their soup with green peas! Are any of the split pea soups mentioned in this thread made with green peas! I am still mourning the demise of Campbell's Green Pea Soup! With the addition of a bit of ham or bacon it was one of my favourite soups!

Yes, many people are upset they cancelled that one. I guess the customer base just wasn't big enough to continue on with it?
(I have relatives in Quispamsis, by the way) lol.
