A nice, basic recipe for pea soup, to which you could add just about anything. A little bacon takes my fancy! However, I did have a few "glitches" I had to sort out with the recipe. It needed 3 to 4 htimes as much water or otherwise the soup would have burned and it also took nearer 4 hours for the peas to cook. Maybe this is down to the type of split pea? Mine weren't old because I'd only bought them a couple weeks earlier. I also added a little bit of stock powder to the soup about halfway through cooking as I felt it was just a touch bland.
