I like this soup - it reminds me of the nursery rhyme about pease porridge. I had some whole dried peas and needed a recipe. Followed this one exactly, except that I used fresh ham rather than salt pork. (Japanese butchers don't carry salt pork.) The recipe times seemed accurate and the soup itself is a very plain, comforting kind of food. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.
