What a terrific full bodied soup. Was really easy to make. I used my "wand" to puree it. The carrots gave it a nice sweetness and the sherry was a nice topper!! This was quite the soup for a soup and sandwich dinner!! Thanks silky

This is a very earthy soup. The fresh pea taste comes through. Perfect for a light dinner. Not heavy like a lot of split-peas soups.
