I'm sorry to give this a low rating. This recipe uses twice the amount of onion that I would normally use in split pea soup and we found it to be overwhelming, causing the soup to be inedible for us.

Haven't tried this yet, but it sounds as good as the rest of the recipes for pea soup. Five stars for the description, lol!
