This is not only a good winter soup, it's a good summer soup too, because it kept my kitchen cool and we had a delicious, simple meal. I followed Derf's instructions exactly, and only adjusted the seasoning by adding a tiny bit of cayenne pepper to the pot. At first I was concerned that there wasn't enough broth to completely cover the peas, and added a little more. It was a mistake; the amount that Derf listed would have been perfect. Mine was a bit thinner than we would have liked, but the soup was delicious and the flavor was terrific. Pea soup is good anytime.

Great! I too used turkey kielbasa. I used 6 Cups of broth, and used fresh marjoram instead of dried. This was very good and very easy. My husband loved it, and with the turkey kielbasa, it's much less fattening than the traditional ham bone version. Will be making this again and again!

This is great! I used 6c stock, 4 ribs celery, 4 carrots, and turkey kielbasa. Also, I cooked it on low for 6 hours. (I added the extra veggies just to use them up before they spoiled).

This was easy and tasty for a wet, dreary day (in August!) served with homemade bread. I did end up adding more broth near the end of the cooking time, because it was too thick.

I prefer pea soup with bacon or ham, but this probably is a healthier alternative and tasty too.
