Oh, yes, this is a pretty basic recipe – add all the vegetables you want! I particularly like the carrots – the color, as much as anything – but almost any root vegetables will work beautifully…
And if I have ham, I throw bits into pretty much any bean soup. Others, too, but it goes particularly well with beans.
Oooh, I’ve never made a soup like this before. I reckon the kids would love it. Thanks so much for linking up with #recipeoftheweek. I’ve Pinned and tweeted this recipe and there’s a new linky live now – hope you join in 🙂
I make Split Pea Soup the same way, except I make a spice bag from cheesecloth – put in a sprig of thyme, a bay leaf and two whole cloves – Yes, cloves. It really enhances the soup!
I use cloves when I make pea soup with yellow split peas… but I’m not sure I’ve used them with green. Sounds good!
And I’ve used a tea ball as a spice bag – then I don’t have to make anything, but can still easily fish the spices out. Don’t always bother… but then I find myself crunching down on a peppercorn or something, and wish I had.
My dad used to make a soup like this when I was young. It looks very tasty I have bookmarked this. Commenting from #recipeoftheweek
Yes, it’s one of the old classics – and it’s been around for ages for a reason – it’s good! I hope you enjoy it!
I love using ham in soup, I normally throw in loads of veg. Ham and pea soup is gorgeous as well and this looks lovely
