Very good! Definitely a step up from my usual water, pea, salt, and pepper recipe. Thank you for sharing!

I agree, you can't go wrong with Moosewood recipes.....an unfussy, satisfying recipe that makes great use of pantry/fridge staples. I made half the recipe, but like many others said, used quite a bit more broth than called for (about another 1 1/2 cups in my case). The only thing I did differently was to add the salt & broth powder after the peas had cooked, and I cooked it for quite a bit longer to let the peas really break down and get creamy the way they do. I'm sure the leftovers are going to be just that much better tomorrow!

Excellent split pea soup. I love the veggie version here. I used 8 cups veggie broth and 2 cups water. I did not use the balsamic vinegar at all, because I thought it tasted perfect already! I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for posting. :)

I love split pea soup and this one was so good! Instead of the water I used vegetable broth, two medium potatoes, and about 1 1/2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Also sauteed the vegetables before adding them to the soup but did not add the optional toppings before serving. I did add a little more vegetable broth while the soup was simmering to thin it out. DH doesnt care for split pea soup so I did not have to share and enjoyed the leftovers over the next couple days. Made and reviewed for KK's Recipe Tag game.

Loved this recipe. I didn't have balsamic and had to substitute prepared mustard for the dried variety but it still turned out amazingly. My vegetarian wife loved it too, can't wait to try it again.

So happy with how this turned out! Everyone I know makes it will ham or ham bones. It was really easy and tasted fantastic. While the split peas were simmering for the 20 minutes I sautéed my vegetables (I didn't realize until after I put the veggies into the pot that I had no potatoes or celery). Still turned out great! In the end I also pureed the mixture (next time I will put half the soup into another pot and only puree half of it because I love the chunks of carrots. Then I will just throw the two back together). Will be making again for sure and there are a ton of leftovers.

Absolutely delish! I totally forgot about the balsamic but it was still the best split pea soup I have ever had in my life. I sauteed the vegetables in an oil/butter mix before adding it to the soup. I agree you don't miss the meat in it at all. I used 7 cups of chicken broth and then 3 cups of water, otherwise it would have been too thick. Thank you.

Love this soup. I made it vegetarian and left out the vinegar. For those of you that want the flavor of ham but want to keep it vegetarian just use liquid smoke. I used a splash of Wright’s All Natural Hickory Seasoning (liquid smoke) and it came out great. NOTE: liquid smoke is concentrated so a little goes a long way.

Wonderful! I used 2 TBSP balsalmic vinegar and a generous drizzle of sesame oil. I also added approx 1/4 cup vegan butter and maybe 1 - 2 tsp liquid smoke. Absolutely fabulously. I might use slightly less salt next time.

Excellent soup! I used to make split pea soup in college in a hot pot -- this was about 50 times better. I did not add the vinegar, but the sesame oil instead, also used vegetarian broth. Can't go wrong with Moosewood.

YUMMY!! I halved the recipe since my DH is picky when it comes to healthy stuff. And it was EXACTLY what I wanted. I used chicken stock, 2 stalks of celery, a potato, and only 1/2 tsp of salt. Other than that the recipe was exactly 1/2. I also sauteed the veggies in sesame oil before adding them to the soup. I though it tasted great as is, so I did not add any balsamic vinegar.

My Mom made this last night, and it's delicious. She uses more salt and leaves out the balsamic vinegar. She added a little bacon, but it's not necessary. Sometimes she uses prosciutto or ham. Very filling and delicious. No leftovers. Thank you for posting this!

I just thought that this soup was ok. We ate it and it was fine, but I won't make it again.

I made this for my toddler. I'm not a big fan of split pea soup but he loves it. I freeze in tall glass baby food jars. Used only 2 cups low sodium veggie broth and the rest water. Also used 1 T of balsamic vinegar. Cooked it in the crock pot too. It turned out wonderful! The flavors are delicious and now I love split pea soup!

Great split pea soup! Tastes just like Campbell's split pea from what I can remember, yet you know it's made with fresh ingredients. I made this in the crock pot and it took 3.5 hours on low heat to achieve the consistency where the peas are split and blend into the soup almost. Thanks for sharing! Also, I omitted the salt and used low-sodium veggie broth because I was cooking this for a family member. Still a great taste!
