I made this for a foods revue through 4-H and won first place and an award of excelence. I personally liked the soup alot, as did the rest of my family, however when I made it for the revue, I had to make it ahead of time and reheat it. The peas got brownish and the taste was not like it had been when I made it before. It didn't taste horrible, but it wasn't very appetizing, either. My reccomendation: make this soup! It's delicious! Just don't try to reheat it. Also the ingredient list doesn't list the amounts of garlic or red pepper flakes you should use. I reccomend 1 tsp. of each. I left out the ham when I made it, and the first time I used chineese cabbage. Any cabbage would work, I think. The second time I used watercress, and I have to say, I liked the cabbage better :) It had a better color and didn't wilt as much. And it had a slight crunch. But either way. It's a nice soup.
