Added the bone and the soup came out great. Used more red pepper flake and added 1/4 cup white wine for a little note of sweetness. Served with a habanero hot sauce and croutons. -
I had a ham bone with some ham on it left over from a honey baked ham and made this recipe for PAC. I cooked it per the directions (covered), then because we love thick pea soup, I simmered it another hour without the lid. So thick and rich and delicious! Will definitely make it again. -
Really easy to make when you have left-over ham! I also put the ham bone in and it made the soup even better! Thanks for such a yummy recipe!
