This is a lovely split pea soup. I didn't make my own stock, but I added the seasonings listed and they were just right! Good vegetable mix as well. I used both green and yellow split peas since I had both. If kosher is not a concern for you, then diced ham is a pleasant addition. Thanks for posting!

I STILL live in sunny southern California, BUT NOT in fabulous West Hollywood. I NOW LIVE IN "THE VALLEY". I live, work, go to shul, shop and socialize all within about a 6 miles radius, and I love it.
I love to read, write, go to movies, sing and cook. And eat. And I unapologetically love TV. I adore my dog, Tuffy, and my amazing HUSBAND, NOT boyfriend, CZ. AND MY GORGEOUS BABY GIRL, A.
I stole my Mom's tattered copy of 'Joy of Cooking' MORE THAN a few years ago. She's still looking for it. It's just good reading, ya know? I grew up on Jeff Smith and Julia Child, and I miss them both on PBS.
