First time to cook with organic split green peas. If I have, it's been a very long time, and we cannot find these (organic) in our area stores. I re-stocked while out restocking, where bulk foods are so much less expensive. Of course seasonings are dried herbs from the garden (other than the bay leaf).
I can say, that we loved the soup, but I adjusted a soup recipe from stove top to crock pot (again). The split peas do break down in a crock pot soup, but I will be buying more of them, especially over winter months. I will be using a different meat next time too I think. We did not have "Farmers Sausage" so I adapted, but still good.
The recipe is from Mennonites Girls can Cook - Anderson's Pea Soup.
It will be 14 degrees warmer today, but the bitter cold plans to return again. I am so busy making up for the 6 weeks of not being able to clean like I normally clean/upkeep, but it's getting done. I completely forgot to get a photo of the current book.

Pea soup is an annual winter favorite here. Every Christmas Eve my son hosts lunch with a ham he gets from his company. They always give me some to take home including the bone. That bone goes into a big batch of split pea soup. So yummy and comforting.
Leigh, we did not host a Christmas meal, so there was no ham bone this past season for us. We will be adding a ham bone and ham next time we make it. I may need to buy ham hocks from the store, but yes, it would make a delicious soup.
I've always liked pea soup, never made it. We have some ham in the freezer, I do not have the peas, which I will remedy when I go shopping, other beans no peas.
Faith, I was shocked at how filling the soup is. Most soups leave me hankering a half of a sandwich with it. Very good.
