Split Green Pea Soup With Sausage

Submitted by AmyZoe

"I made this without the hot sausage and bouillon cubes (just used ham in it's place), and it was absolutely phenomenal. Creamy and flavorful, I'd make this again. Recipe courtesy of Southern Sideboards Southern Living Hall of Fame and Junior League of Jackson, Mississippi and Mrs. Norman Stevens, Mt Olive, Mississippi. Serving size is estimated."
